"I'm really into hedonism: getting drunk, having sex, having fun."

Moises de la Renta could very well be a reality television icon by now. With Fashion God Oscar de la Renta as his father and a velvet rope lifestyle, he certainly fits the I-wish-I-was-him credentials. But Moises opted for a real (and respected) career in design/photography. And if his recently launched, painfully hip website for his bad ass womenswear fashion line MDLR is any indication, his career choice was wise. We met up to chit-chat for what I thought was drinks at the Thompson Hotel, but to my surprise, I was greeted by the man about town in a room full of models getting ready for their close-ups in an MDLR photo shoot featured on Whatswear.com. It was all lights, cameras, and action, mixed with plenty of cigarettes, blaring background noise of the sub-par performances of MJ's classics from the previously aired BET Awards, sexy leather biker jackets complete with gilded MDLR zippers -- and, in true rock star form, an Iggy Pop vs. David Bowie debate.

Michael K of the hilarious "be very afraid" celebrity blog known as DListed knows fashion. In fact, he kills with his posts regarding "basement baby" Grace Jones wannabe Solange ("She's down in her basement right now trying to recreate this shit using an old wooden salad bowl, placements and some busted ass V for Vendetta mask she bought on eBay."), his penchant for Salma Hayek and her "chichis that will save the world," and, of course, his classic obsession for Cynthia Nixon's partner, who he refers to as "Rojo Caliente" (here's why). Considering it's New York Fashion Week, we sat down to get our all things fashion-y chit chat on with Michael K and dished about who will work it out this season and who will be a hot mess. Your blog is hilarious. Would you ever consider a career in comedy? A million thank yous, but comedy is not for me. I don't even consider what I do comedy. It's just diarrhea of the mouth, really. And Amy Winehouse hasn't invented a drug cocktail strong enough for me to deal with the kind of stage fright I'd suffer from performing in front of a live audience. That's too hardcore for me.
