Watch: Can We Talk About Lupita Nyong’o? a tFS Roundtable Discussion [theFashionDish]

Here we go! Today we have another installment of theFashionDish, a new original series from tFS. Last weekend, we brought together six fashion industry experts for dinner and a roundtable discussion recapping New York Fashion Week. In the coming weeks, we’ll be bringing you lots of short clips and a full 30-minute episode drawn from the rowdy, hilarious and informative conversation that ensued. 

Below, the panelists talk about Acadamy Award nominee Lupita Nyong’o‘s appearance at the Calvin Klein Fall 2014 show and also her overall effervescence. “There’s not a single pore on her face,” says Robert Verdi, bewildered. 

About our panelists:

  • June Ambrose, a leading celebrity stylist whose clients include Jay Z, Missy Elliot and Zoe Saldana.
  • Laurie Brookins, a veteran fashion journalist who has interviewed designers like Tom Ford, Frida Giannini and Alber Elbaz. Brookins was also theFashionSpot’s social ambassador this Fashion Week.
  • Katie Cassidy, the star of The CW’s Arrow and co-founder of the fashion blog TomboyKC.
  • Jaclyn Jones, Senior Womenswear Editor at WGSN, a leading trend forecasting firm.
  • Chiun-Kai “Chunky” Shih, fashion photographer, Condé Nast creative director and the creator of Hipstamatic‘s ‘Chunky’ lens.
