I’ve honestly never met someone like Nicolas. I’ve been wearing some of the really beautiful structured pieces - I love a deep neck and how it accentuates a woman in that area. WWD: Are there any designers that you have been gravitating toward lately? When you’re working out, you want someone to push you and motivate you to get out of your box and comfort zone. I like that - it’s like a trainer, in a way. That is not something I will wear.’ She’ll just hold it and sit there until I put it on.

When I see something on the rack or on the model, I’ll literally say like, ‘No. She’s just so fun - she’s almost more youthful than me. S.G.: I was really lucky when I met Kate, because obviously I would be lucky to work with someone like her, but she and I just hit it off really well. WWD: What has Kate taught you about fashion? If I could sum up my look in one word, I would hope that it would be sophisticated. I gave myself to this album and this music, so I wanted it to be very sophisticated. This album, how it really ties together, is it is just me. The older that I’ve become, I’ve felt very connected to fashion, especially this past year working with Kate Young and creating these relationships with people that I never had before. I wore combat boots for two albums, then I went into more of the sparkle and glamour. S.G.: It’s definitely about where I am in my life. WWD: How does your style differ from album to album? Is it a conscious decision that you make? I spent a year working on the record and really wanted to spend time on what it was going to represent and how it was going to represent me in this time in my life. I was excited and nervous and anxious because I literally had nothing to fall back on.

S.G.: These past two years have been really transitional for me in every aspect - personally, emotionally and professionally. You forget after a while when you start talking about something that it’s actually going to happen. Selena Gomez: I’m really nervous, because it’s actually happening.

WWD: How are you feeling now that the album is about to come out? Now back in Los Angeles, and with only four days until the release of “Revival,” Gomez gets on the phone with WWD to talk about her “addicting” new relationship.
