Quotes about:

• My role as the chair of the fashion department at Parsons put me face to face with all the big designers, retailers, and editors.

• I am a stickler for good manners, and I believe that treating other people well is a lost art.

Over time these choices define who we are and whether we have a lot of friends and allies or none.
