My girlfriend is a fashion designer. She has her own company called Rachel Antonoff. She is doing a collaboration with Urban Outfitters right now, a shoe collaboration with Bass. She sells to Barneys, stuff like that.

I don't have a Twitter or a Facebook, but that doesn't mean I'm any more productive than the rest of the world.
