Success Needs To Be Measured According To

On My First Day Teaching My Own Classroom, I Threw Up Before I Entered The Building.

I Always Say I Have A Socratic Approach To Most Things That I Do. I Pummel People With Questions, Because I Need To Know What They're Thinking, What They're Trying To Achieve, What They Believe The Final Outcome Is Going To Be.

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.

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.

I Would Certainly Rather The Industry Not Go Broke, But If That's What It Takes For Everyone To Acquire Some Values And Lose That Sense Of Entitlement, Maybe A Little Belt-tightening Wouldn't Be So Tragic.
