I haven't had a date in 26 years.
Remember someone is going to be out, so donโt make it you.
Life is a big collaboration. And we can't navigate it alone.
You have no control over other people's taste, so focus on staying true to your own.
I pretty much stay true to myself and try to find the good in people and not be snarky.
My advice to the 10 year old daughter is: fashion happens in a context. It's societal, it's cultural, it's historic, it's economic, and it's political. So all of her studies, everything that is happening in the world, all needs to be channeled through her in order to be a good designer.
