I've Worn A Suit And Tie For

Life Is A Big Collaboration. And We Can't Navigate It Alone.

I've Never Said I'm A Fashion Designer.

My Role As The Chair Of The Fashion Department At Parsons Put Me Face To Face With All The Big Designers, Retailers, And Editors. Since I Was Moving In These New Circles Regularly, I Realized I Needed To Do Something About My Own Personal Style. It Was Really Diane Von Furstenberg Who Gave Me The Nudge.

I Pretty Much Stay True To Myself And Try To Find The Good In People And Not Be Snarky.

When It Comes To My Vocabulary, I Felt A Responsibility When I Was Teaching To Raise The Bar Of Conversation In My Classroom. And With My Own Students, I Refused To Let Them Use The Phrase "i Like" Or "i Don't Like" When We Were Engaged In A Critique.
