I was a teacher and an administrator at Parson's School of Design, and as an administrator, I was associate dean. And in that role, I went around fixing things that were broken. And the Parson's fashion program was broken.So fashion chose me. It needed to be developed and evolve. I don't know if it comes naturally to anyone.

I have my flaws and my issues, past and present and who knows what will happen in the future. I want people to know Im vulnerable too and each one of us is.

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

I believe that treating other people well is a lost art.

I've worn a suit and tie for most of my life. And I believe (for me), it makes me more confident navigating the world.

If I had to choose a single destination where I'd be held captive for the rest of my time in New York, I’d choose the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

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