If 500 Days of Summer taught us anything, it’s that expectation rarely lines up with reality. So was the case when we walked into Brooke Shields’ NYC home an hour before she left for Calvin Klein’s Spring ’18 show. While one might assume it’d be all about hair, makeup, and finding the perfect accessories, Brooke and her team were busy working…to help solve her daughter’s math homework. This was all in between spritzes, brush strokes, and an “is this see-through?” style dilemma.
The chaotic situation was actually quite telling: Brooke is often—and rightfully so—labeled an icon, but she isn’t *just* an icon. She’s a Princeton grad, a true fan of fashion, and, most importantly, a doting mom (one who has a very practical tip for dealing with high heel pain).
While we stayed away from anything to do with fractions, we did play fly-on-the-wall as Brooke prepped for the event, asking her about the brand, her original CK campaign, and the outfit she wore while sitting front row.
“I like those little flats that you get at CVS. I also have the most broken-up, beaten-up [feet]. There are pins, there are staples, there are fused bones from dancing. And I’m a 6-foot-tall woman on a smaller foot. Those feet have not been happy carrying this for this many years. It’s about pain, but I will suffer through anything if the heel is beautiful [laughs]. But once the photo op is over, I’m in my flats.”
