Lydia Hearst: NYO Interview from Lure Fishbar


It never says it in the interview but I have it on good authority (because I was there) that this interview took place at Lure Fishbar. At the time I thought it was some kind of staged paparazzi event, how crazy to find out it was simply a New York Observer interview :)

You can read the entire interview here.

Side note: the Lure banquette looks lovely in this picture. The massive lighting paid off guys, you do it justice. [Lure is a very well designed subterranean space in Soho at Prince + Mercer]

The highlights:

  • “I am definitely not a preppy New York girl,” she said. “The last thing you will ever see me wearing is a polo shirt—I’m not a pearl-necklace-wearing little sorority girl.”
  • “I do believe that everyone deserves great love,” she said. “I just turned 23, I’m not necessarily planning the rest of my life at the moment. My idea about being in a relationship is like it’s a whole other form of creation.”
  • “I tell her, ‘Listen, you’re a socialite, it’s a fair enough description, you come by it honestly,’” said her mom, Patricia Hearst-Shaw. “For ‘heiress’ we usually substitute ‘airhead’ around here. Just on general principle, lest anyone get too full of themselves.”
