… Beginning the backstage journey again as we head to New York for the the first of the season's shows. 'I'm really looking forward to Proenza Schouler,' says EBT's backstage correspondent Georgia, 'and Marc Jacobs is always fun'. When it comes to beauty people, Georgia's 'kind of in love with make-up artist Diane Kendal' and 'can't wait to see Luke Hersheson [a regular on ELLE shoots] do his thing in NY.'
