“With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not jus…” — Tim Gunn

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've never mentioned this, but when I was at Parsons teaching, the other design disciplines, they don't like fashion design. They see it as very nineteenth-century.

Men's wear is all about tailoring.

Does a man need to know what a peplum is? Probably not.
