But I'm going to be a real good boy and take it day by day and try to concentrate on what's most important to me, and that's offering women a service.
fashion book years
Fashion is a very stressful place to work because of the demands of doing the shows - no one expects a writer to produce two books a year on the dot - but it's also a very toxic place to work.
