The Element Of Fashion I'd Like To

I Found Early On In Teaching, If You're Too Blunt An Instrument, The Students Discredit You And Think You're Just Being Mean. They're Not Interested In What You Have To Say.

But If Fashion Were Easy, Wouldn't Everybody Look Great ?

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.

The Pervasive Idea Is That If You're A Man In The Fashion Industry, You're Gay Until Proven Otherwise. And Of Course There Are Lots Of Men Who Aren't. But People Make Certain Assumptions.

If You Want To Write An Angry E-mail, Write It But Don't Send It. It's Based On My Experience That Whenever I Have Acted Out In Some Manner, I Have Always Regretted It.
