As I Continue To Mature And Navigate

I Grew Up With An Absolutely Horrible, Debilitating Stutter, And It Was What Caused Me To Retreat Into Myself And Caused Me To Have Very Few Friends And Not Want To Socialize, And It Made Me Absolutely Terrified Of Giving Reports In School. It Was Awful. It Wasn't Until I Was 19 That I Had Intensive Speech Therapy. I Had It For Two Years And It Really Helped, Though I Will Say When I'm Tired, The Stutter Comes Out, Even Now.

I'm Frequently Introduced As A Fashion Designer, And I Quickly Say I'm Not, And Instantly People Are Incredibly Disappointed And Think That I'm Some Sort Of Charlatan Who's Been Perpetuating This Falsehood.

With Fashion, You Really Need To Understand The Aspects Of Construction. Not Just Design On An Ipad.

The Color, The Shape, And The Texture--none Of It Is Accidental. Every Item We Wear Has A Glorious (or Sometimes Not So Glorious) History, And That History Extends Back Years--centuries, Even--before Oscar De La Renta's 2002 Collection.

I Love Modern Family But It's Among A Handful Of Favorite Shows.
