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 Learned From Teaching. If You Are Perceived By The Student To Be Belittling Them Or Purely Criticizing Them Without Offering Up Words Of Encouragement And Support, They Shut Down And Discredit You.

It's Not An Area Where Designers Want To Focus Or Pay Attention - Women Who Are Larger Than A Size 12.

I Would Never Dream Of Telling People How To Dress. But I Do Say To Them, However You Are Dressing, Accept Responsibility For It. And Also, Unless Asked, I Don't Judge. And If Asked To Judge - I Would Approach It Socratically, I Would Approach It With Questions.

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.
