As soon as she hit the curb, she panicked. She misapplied hitting the brakes and hit the accelerator. |
I find some of it insulting. It is a little arrogant to say 'I am a designer'. We in the business hold the true idea of fashion closer to our hearts. |
I think jeans served a real purpose. Because of jeans, the fashion customer has become more confident with mixing and has discovered there is an alternative to designer total looks. |
In my situation, I have no mortgage, and my real estate taxes are very low. I won't be able to itemize. |
It's hard to improve upon perfection. |

We haven't seen this many light fabrics on the runways for fall since I can remember. |
When I'm in a show, I'm dissecting it. Even though the hair may be crazy and the shoes are weird, if you see one piece, whether it's a blouse or a top or a skirt that makes sense, that's what you're looking for. |
