Plans are in motion for celebs and designers as 2017 kicks off. They are obsessed with New Years Resolutions and are ready to make them a reality. WWD surveyed some of our favorite stars like Sienna Miller and designer’s like Zac Posen to see what they will be up to over the next few months. From politics to pop culture trends they are pumped to get going.
Sienna Miller said, “What am I gonna be obsessed with in 2017? Probably New York. I’m obsessed with it now and I think it’s gonna carry on. Gonna keep my obsession going. I just love it here. It’s its own country and it’s open and diverse and magic.”
Elle Fanning was all about Netflix and Chill, “I might say Netflix because I just got Netflix. So I’m, like, discovering everything. I’ve only watched ‘Making a Murderer.’ That’s all I’ve watched. So I have, like, a lot to watch in 2017.”
We didn’t know Designer Zac Posen has literally been cooking something up. “I’m working on my ‘Cooking With Zac’ cookbook. I am finishing creating and perfecting the last 10 recipes, tightening up the essays, and finally starting to assemble the visuals, seasonal color stories and fabric prints for the book. ” In between Christmas and New Year’s, I am planning to keep myself busy by catching up on the award season screener movies, ‘La La Land,’ ‘The Lion’ and ‘Manchester By the Sea.’ Also, my New Year’s obsession: starting Pilates!”
Chris Messina “2017, wow. I wanna be obsessed with the environment in 2017. Just trying to lend more of a hand. I feel like I’m conscious of it, but I would like to be more conscious of it. With the new administration, I think that’s not even a question that you can’t be. You have to be.”
Ben Affleck could be wealthier if he knew his resolution, “If I knew that, I’d be a very rich man.”
Chris Cooper “What I’m gonna be obsessed with is getting on with 2017 because 2016 was s–t.”
Prabal Gurung “HBO’s ‘Westworld’ and ‘Insecure’ have definitely been year-end obsessions for me. I find ‘Westworld’ so fascinating, and ‘Insecure’ is exactly the type of comedy we should all be watching in this post-election era. I also started composting at the Union Square Farmers Market every weekend, and that is something I plan to continue through 2017 and beyond. It is such an easy step to help reduce waste. Focusing on sustainability is a core value for both my brand and myself as a person, and composting empowers and protects our environment. You can say I’m obsessed!”
Marcia Patmos “It is not an obsession, but I think it is important to be very active as a citizen right now and find ways every day to contribute and make a difference in your community. I am going to start by donating a portion of the proceeds of my online sales to the ACLU.”
