New Interviews of Ashley Greene with E! at DKNY Show & NY Mag

Twilight Star Sightings Are New York Fashion Week's Hot Trend: Ashley Greene! Kellan Lutz! Nikki Reed! Fashion Week? More like Twilight Week! Stars from the mega-popular vampire saga sunk their teeth into New York Fashion Week by popping up all over the place—at shows, parties and on the red carpet. Forget trying to crown this year's It boy or It girl: Twilight delivered Fashion Week's undisputed It cast! Nikki Reed was spotted at no fewer than four shows within three days, while Kellan Lutz has been equally ubiquitous (not to mention a big turtleneck fan!). Meanwhile, Ashley Greene hit the DKNY show today in Chelsea. We caught up with the elegant star for a few minutes and wondered: Are she and her costars planning a Twilight reunion in New York? "I actually just got in town!" said the busy star, dressed in a sleek blood-red mini (how fitting!). "But I think after all the fashion shows, we'll maybe have a chance to sit down and have dinner." Apparently, she's already had quite the whirlwind trip. "I got in, I had to do a little bit of work, fittings and stuff like that, and passed out last night. Got up this morning and got ready for this!" But she's looking forward to reconnecting with Lutz and Reed in New York. "Hopefully our schedules aren't conflicting, though, because while one's not busy, usually the other one is." Now that shooting has wrapped on Breaking Dawn: Part 2, are the stars able to stay in touch, despite their busy schedules? "Yeah, definitely," Greene said. "I think it's nice because most of us are based in L.A., so we do get to see each other." As she settled into her front-row seat at the DKNY show, we had to know: Which of her dashing male Twilight costars does she think is the most stylish? "Taylor Lautner!" she offered. "He's always so well dressed."

Ashley Greene Shares Hard-Earned Fashion Wisdom at DKNY It's amazing how chill Donna Karan manages to be even though she's about to send a show down the runway. We would be backstage weeping into a split of Champagne — okay, a bottle; okay, four bottles. But at DKNY on Sunday, Karan hung out before the show with the rest of us, mingling cheerfully with the media before posing for an unending passel of photographs with her current campaign girl Ashley Greene. "Thank you — it's all about the lighting, honey!" she winked at a journalist who asked her to shift her position. Then she narrowed her eyes and stared thoughtfully at another lady. "I love your hair. I might have to change all the hair tomorrow," she said, referencing her eponymous Donna Karan show. 
If she's organized enough to be that relaxed with two full fashion shows on the docket, then we probably can't keep using our rigorous typing schedule as an excuse for not going to the gym. We may need to start following her around and taking notes. Unsurprisingly, Nina Dobrev — who made a splash at the Emmys in a red Donna Karan gown in September — also took in the show, seated between Greene and the divine Coco Rocha, and got an introduction to the designer after it ended. "I'd been dying to meet you," we heard Nina say as they hugged. Dobrev looked great in a black and white dress and a leather jacket — the latter of which was a smart choice, in the end, because Karan threw open the doors and had the models hit the catwalk from outside. Suddenly it made sense why 90 percent of the assembled reporters — plus several event staffers in headsets — had left on their heavy winter coats. Said Greene, who was clad only in a short-sleeved red dress, "We were like, 'Man it's hot in here,' but they obviously know what they're doing because when the doors opened there was that gust of air and it all evened out, so I was okay." 
Greene, who is a month out from her next DKNY shoot, said Karan is once again custom-making her Met Ball gown for the May gala. Having a gown basically built around your body sounds like a pretty dreamy proposition to us, especially smack in the middle of Fashion Week, when everything we brought suddenly seems so boring and doesn't fit quite right (what, blame the red-wine-and-carbs diet? Not us). 
"A lot of what I wear, they create for me, so, say, they'll send over twenty sketches and say, 'This is what we're thinking, what do you think?'" Greene said. "They obviously totally don't have to give me approval over that stuff but they're incredible about it. It's so cool. To have access to these designers … not everybody gets that. I'm really lucky, and it's just ridiculously fun." Since she hit it big with Twilight, Greene has been doing enough red carpet appearances (seriously, it feels like she single-handedly carries most of the overseas premieres; we hope her flyer miles buy her a spa vacation) that she said she's noticed an evolution in her personal style. "When you're first thrust into the fashion world, it's overwhelming. 
The fashion industry has a language of its own and sometimes it's hard to understand," she confessed, laughing. "But I'm definitely learning what works on me or my body type. You have to learn that just because a trend is hot doesn't mean you have to embrace it, or that it looks good on you." Still, even with all the fancy new stuff rolling in, we wondered if Greene ever looks at her closet and realizes she has one fallback item she just keeps buying (kind of like the time we needed more than two hands to count our horizontally striped shirts). "I was always big on t-shirts and jeans, so I have a thousand t-shirts," she said. "I've actually started weeding those out because let's face it, you really only need five. And I have a lot of shoes. A lot of shoes." Girl, we feel you. Whether it's laundry day or Bloat Saturday, shoes always fit, and in our minds you can never have enough. "There's never too many shoes," she affirmed. "Although you can run out of closet space. That's definitely happened." She paused, then corrected herself with a sheepish grin, "That's definitely happening."
