My best life advice:Take the high road.No matter how much stress, or strain, or consternation you are facing, take the high road.You will never regret it.
I found early on in teaching, if you're too blunt an instrument, the students discredit you and think you're just being mean. They're not interested in what you have to say.
I have my mantra about silhouette, proportion, and fit. I believe that when they are in harmony and balance, you’ll look great in anything.
I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.
I do things like hem a pair of pants, I do my own tailoring but I wouldn't attempt a jacket.
I have my flaws and my issues, past and present and who knows what will happen in the future. I want people to know Im vulnerable too and each one of us is.
I have to have my coffee. I probably have three cups a day, but only before noon.
I would certainly rather the industry not go broke, but if that's what it takes for everyone to acquire some values and lose that sense of entitlement, maybe a little belt-tightening wouldn't be so tragic.
We shop out of boredom, for release, for excitement, for a sense of achievement, for a sense of control over our unruly existences. And every so often, we shop because we need something to wear.
When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated. A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they're not pajamas.
Mood has a scuba section? Who knew?
Remember someone is going to be out, so don’t make it you.
I am the anti-trend guy? I don't believe in chasing trends. And before anyone shops, I believe you benefit from doing a closet inventory. Ask yourself what am I wearing, what am I not wearing, and you'll probably discover things you didn't even know you had.
