On keeping employees happy, her advice for women, and why eating dinner after 7 is 'really sinful'
Nina Garcia. Illustration: Lauren Tamaki Nina Garcia is the editor-in-chief of Elle Magazine, the author of four books on fashion, and — perhaps what she’s best known for — the judge of Project Runway since 2004. She lives in New York with her husband and two kids and never eats dinner after 7 p.m. Here’s how she gets it done.
After my workout, I’ll have breakfast. Usually fruit, yogurt, some whole-wheat toast — maybe a juice. I really love pineapple. If I could have fresh pineapple every day, I probably would. People kind of make fun of that, but it’s my fruit of choice. I like that sweetness in the morning, and I’ll put it with yogurt or I’ll do it with cottage cheese or I’ll have it with a piece of toast. I’m really into that combination.
I have had the moment in the office when I’m like, “Oops, I really need a pair of flats! Help, can I go to the closet and borrow a pair of flats?” But usually those samples are in a size 9 and I’m a size 7, so I’ve been known to waddle around in size 9 flats — especially during Fashion Week, when it gets really crazy.
On meetings: Sometimes there are a lot of meetings. And I like to get things done. I love a meeting when something is done and resolved and tackled, but there’s sometimes that meetings go on and on forever. I am more of a doer, so meetings can frustrate me. Project Runway came at a pivotal moment in my career. The show was like the eye of the storm. And all these brands had started coming in, H&M and Zara, and all that, and it was the real democratization of fashion. And the show kind of highlighted all that. It also afforded me the opportunity to write books. And when I saw social media happening, I was one of the first to jump onboard because again, I had learned a lesson. It’s about taking chances.
