I had this wonderful career and thought I would retire as a teacher.

I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.

And I'm the first one to tell people to break the rules. But you can only break the rules once you know what the rules are. The other thing is, fashion is the last design discipline to actually have academic texts and historical analysis.

It was very challenging to mentor the mentors, and yes, you do see more sides of my personality.

If you told me when I was a teen that I would end up being a teacher, I would have said you're out of your mind, because quite frankly I hated school.

I haven't had a date in 26 years.

If you're wearing a jacket, as I always am, the sweater vest always needs to be buttoned, with the exception of the bottom button. But if you're going sans jacket, you can leave it open.
