I Guess The Most Famous Person I

Go To Lord & Taylor On Fifth Avenue, I Think It's The Eighth Floor, And It's Just A Department Called 'woman.' It's Rather Devastating. You've Never Seen Such Hideous Clothes In Your Entire Life. I Mean, It's Simply Appalling. Thank God There Are No Windows On That Floor, Because If I Were A Size 18, I'd Throw Myself Right Out The Window [after Seeing Those Clothes]. It's Insulting What These Designers Do To These Women.

My Advice To The 10 Year Old Daughter Is: Fashion Happens In A Context. It's Societal, It's Cultural, It's Historic, It's Economic, And It's Political. So All Of Her Studies, Everything That Is Happening In The World, All Needs To Be Channeled Through Her In Order To Be A Good Designer.

When Someone New Walks Into A Room, The First Thing We Notice About That Person Is Probably Their Gender. And The Second Things Is What They're Wearing. And Based On What They're Wearing, We Start Making Certain Assumptions About Them.

My Role As The Chair Of The Fashion Department At Parsons Put Me Face To Face With All The Big Designers, Retailers, And Editors. Since I Was Moving In These New Circles Regularly, I Realized I Needed To Do Something About My Own Personal Style. It Was Really Diane Von Furstenberg Who Gave Me The Nudge.

I'm One Of The Biggest Introverts You Could Ever Meet.
