Life is not a solo act. It's a huge collaboration, and we all need to assemble around us the people who care about us and support us in times of strife.

As I've matured, I've developed more confidence in pattern mixing and in having a slimmer fit and in taking some risks, and I enjoy it!

I've never mentioned this, but when I was at Parsons teaching, the other design disciplines, they don't like fashion design. They see it as very nineteenth-century.

Call me a schoolmarm, but few things make me angrier than people not taking good care of library materials.

May I respond by merely saying, "I hate crocs. May they please go away."

If you have to ask if a clothing item is a dress or a top, it is always a top.

If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.
