"  HARPER&amp;#039;S BAZAAR: What is your fall look all about? LISA MARIE FERNANDEZ: I want classic shapes, pieces that transcend time. I don&amp;#039;t have that kind of &amp;quot;I want to look like Mia Farrow&amp;quot; philosophy. I just choose pieces that will work for me. You can&amp;#039;t go back in time and re-create something. I really use myself as a gauge. HB: Are there any challenging trends you&amp;#039;ll tackle? Like the gorilla arm or a duster coat? LMF: I would love a duster coat. I just don&amp;#039;t want to spend $6,000 for it. Maybe I&amp;#039;ll spring for one when it goes on sale in December. It wouldn&amp;#039;t make a list like this. These are things I&amp;#039;m willing to buy at full price. HB: Tell us about your shopping methodology. LMF: I hardly ever shop in New York. I buy most of my clothes in Paris. It is so much more pleasurable shopping there. I used to shop at sample sales, but now I avoid those. If I wouldn&amp;#039;t buy a designer at full price, I don&amp;#039;t buy them. HB: Do you like to go alone? LMF: It&amp;#039;s always nice to have someone to bounce something off of because sometimes you can&amp;#039;t see it in 360 degrees. Or to stop you from doing an impulse buy between shows! HB: What are some of your favorite stores? LMF: I love the Webster in Miami. They have an amazing selection and will e-mail you photographs. When a lot of things are gone in other places, they tend to have it because who is buying wool in Miami? HB: What about in Paris? LMF: C\u00E9line, Givenchy. I go to Le Bon March\u00E9. I love Merci. It&amp;#039;s an emporium with a lot of home \u2014 great napkins and kitchenware \u2014 but the fashion department is expanding. I got a lot there for spring. Corso Como in Milan is fantastic. They stock a lot of designers that aren&amp;#039;t obvious but are quite good. I also love Beymen in Istanbul and Selfridges and Matches in London. HB: What&amp;#039;s the smartest lesson you&amp;#039;ve learned? LMF: That it&amp;#039;s cheaper to buy in the country of origin. I am finding out more about that now as different countries are buying my clothes. Also, develop good relationships with salespeople. Then they will tell you about a presale. HB: Are you a big returner? LMF: Not at all. I deliberate enough over it, and I&amp;#039;ve done my research, so when I love something, I don&amp;#039;t hem and haw. HB: What is your greatest retail triumph? LMF: When Nicolas Ghesqui\u00E8re was at Callaghan, I bought some of his early pieces and still wear them. From his first collection for Balenciaga, I have a pair of moleskin pants that fit better than anything. HB: Any retail regrets? LMF: There are things that I would love to have had, especially shoes. But when you are getting the Prada boot and the Vuitton boot, the rest is kind of fluff on top. In reality, there are only so many handbags and shoes you can wear. I&amp;#039;ll buy 100 things but still wear the same thing over and over. See the shopping lists of more stylish professionals Emily Weiss, Yasmin Sewell and Amanda Brooks.
