Remember Someone Is Going To Be Out,

I'm Constantly Correcting Young People And Fashion Students In This Nation When They Say "well, I Do Couture." By Definition, You Don't. You Have To Be Licensed By The Government Of France To Do Couture. So Don't Use That Term. You Can Say That You Do One-of-a-kind, You Can Say It's Custom, But You Can't Say It's Couture - Because It's Inaccurate.

I Just Don't Like Conspicuous Consumption. I Find It Distasteful.

I Want To Say To Anyone Who Works In A Drone Workplace, Raise The Bar! There's No Reason Why You Have To Dress To The Lowest Common Denominator.

I Am A Stickler For Good Manners, And I Believe That Treating Other People Well Is A Lost Art. In The Workplace, At The Dinner Table, And Walking Down The Street--we Are Confronted With Choices On How To Treat People Nearly Every Waking Moment. Over Time These Choices Define Who We Are And Whether We Have A Lot Of Friends And Allies Or None.

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.
