Frankly, I Think That Fur

I've Had My Own Moments In Front Of Designers When I've Actually Said, 'you Know, There's A Market Here For Expanding Your Work, And Here It Is. And Frankly, There Are Two Markets: The Women Who Are Larger Than The 12, And Then There Are Women Who Are Petite. And Most Designers That I Talk To Have Absolutely No Interest In Addressing Either Of Those Populations, Which I Find Repugnant.

I Do Things Like Hem A Pair Of Pants, I Do My Own Tailoring But I Wouldn't Attempt A Jacket.

I Would Say This To My Students All The Time, It's About 30% You As The Teacher And 70% About Them. They Tend To Think That Their Role Is To Be The Baby Bird In A Nest And You're Going To Feed Them? They're Going To Feed Themselves, Or They're Going To Starve.

I Will Say That The High Road Can Get So High That You Can Get A Nose Bleed, In Which Case You Have To Get Off The High Road.

I've Never Mentioned This, But When I Was At Parsons Teaching, The Other Design Disciplines, They Don't Like Fashion Design. They See It As Very Nineteenth-century.
