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.

I'm Really Not A Trend Promoter Because I Feel That People Push Trends On People They Shouldn't.

You Have No Control Over Other People's Taste, So Focus On Staying True To Your Own.

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.

A Couple Of Things For The Not-so-diminutive Man: Avoid Any Prints That Are Large Scale, Because You Will Look Like The Print Is Wearing You, As Opposed To You Wearing The Print.

I've Been In Situations Where I've Said To Young People: "you're So Personable, You're So Articulate, You're Clearly So Bright, You're So Good-looking - Feel Better About Yourself!" But If At The Core If You Don't, All Those Words Mean Nothing. Absolutely Nothing.

I've Never Told Anyone This, In An Effort To Run From My Past And Disguise It, I Got Rid Of All Of The Scrapbooks My Mother Kept Going Back To When I Was A Baby. Truly. So That's Why Whenever Talk Show Hosts Or A Producer Asks For These Pictures, There Are Barely Any. My Sister Had A Few, But That's It, And This Was Before Digital. I've Never Told Anyone That, But That's The Truth.

I Wouldn't Know What To Do On A Date. I Don't Have The Time. To Make A Relationship Work, I'd Have To Give Something Up, And I'm Not So Sure I'm Willing To Do That.

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

I Don't Know Why I've Always Been So Captivated By Architecture.

I'm Doing All That I Can To Prod The Industry And Get Them To Pay More Attention [to Larger Women And Petite Women]. Because I Find It To Be Reprehensible And Repugnant That Two Populations That Are So Pervasive In This Nation Should Be So Badly Neglected.

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.

When It Comes To My Vocabulary, I Felt A Responsibility When I Was Teaching To Raise The Bar Of Conversation In My Classroom. And With My Own Students, I Refused To Let Them Use The Phrase "i Like" Or "i Don't Like" When We Were Engaged In A Critique.

People Put On Certain Clothes For Certain Reasons, I Assume, When Their Closet Is Filled With Clothes.

I Have My Flaws And My Issues, Past And Present And Who Knows What Will Happen In The Future. I Want People To Know Im Vulnerable Too And Each One Of Us Is.

My Manners Also Came From When I Was In College And Began Participating In Critiques. You Have To Speak With Someone Respectfully About Their Work And Be Honest And Open, Without Hurting Them.

People Come Up To Me And Share Very Personal And Intimate Things With Me, And I Am So Touched By All The Trust They Have In Me.

Life Is A Collaboration, It's Not A Solo Act.

Mood Has A Scuba Section? Who Knew?

I Was A Teacher And An Administrator At Parson's School Of Design, And As An Administrator, I Was Associate Dean. And In That Role, I Went Around Fixing Things That Were Broken. And The Parson's Fashion Program Was Broken.so Fashion Chose Me. It Needed To Be Developed And Evolve. I Don't Know If It Comes Naturally To Anyone.

If You Told Me When I Was A Teen That I Would End Up Being A Teacher, I Would Have Said You're Out Of Your Mind, Because Quite Frankly I Hated School.

I Have A Very Socratic Approach - I Pummel The Designers With Questions, So When I Get Them To Step Back From The Work And Look At It With Me, They'll Eventually See What I See, Coming To It Fresh And Unencumbered. That's Always Very Gratifying Because They Feel A Responsibility And An Ownership Of A Solution.

Things Are Recalibrated According To New Perspectives And Perceptions. It's Fascinating To Me.

I Will Say That The High Road Can Get So High That You Can Get A Nose Bleed, In Which Case You Have To Get Off The High Road.

When It Comes To Dressing, Comfort Is Overrated. A Little Discomfort Probably Means Your Clothes Fit And They're Not Pajamas.

If I Think About Most Of America, And Maybe I'm Terribly Wrong...but I Think Most Of America Would Say That They're Not In Favor Of Gay Marriage. But There Is Certainly A Large Cohort, Not A Majority But A Large Number Of People, Who Are Articulate And Vocal And They'd Rally Behind This. They're Making Their Opinion Known.

If You're Wearing A Jacket, As I Always Am, The Sweater Vest Always Needs To Be Buttoned, With The Exception Of The Bottom Button. But If You're Going Sans Jacket, You Can Leave It Open.

I Will Always Be There In The Wings Saying, 'you Need To Be Good To People. You Need To Take Your Work Seriously. You Need To Have Integrity. You Need To Work With What You've Got.

There’s One Thing I Will Not Do, Ever: I Will Never Talk To You About Things You Cannot Change. It Plants A Negativity In The Head Of A Designer Or The Student, And It’s A Distraction.

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.

Why Must She Dress That Way? I Think She's Confused About Her Gender.

I Am The Anti-trend Guy? I Don't Believe In Chasing Trends. And Before Anyone Shops, I Believe You Benefit From Doing A Closet Inventory. Ask Yourself What Am I Wearing, What Am I Not Wearing, And You'll Probably Discover Things You Didn't Even Know You Had.

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

What's Important To A Fashion Designer? It's Much More Than Learning How To Make Clothes. In Fact, That Merely Makes You A Dressmaker. It Doesn't Make You Into A Fashion Designer.

Being In The Moment Is Everything. So Being In The Moment For Me Is Just Letting The Narrative Play Out, Listening To The Designers And Giving Them Helpful Feedback About What They're Doing.

I'm Conflicted. On One Hand, I Don't Want To Say That Because You Were A Man And Now You're A Woman, You Can't Be In A Women's Fashion Show. But I Feel It's A Dicey Issue. The Fact Of The Matter Is, When You Are Transgender - If You Go, Say, Male To Female - You're Not Having Your Pelvis Broken And Having It Expanded Surgically. You Still Have The Anatomical Bone Structure Of A Man.

Remember Someone Is Going To Be Out, So Don’t Make It You.

Few Activities Are As Delightful As Learning New Vocabulary.

Staples Are Only Good If They Truly Suit Our Lifestyle.

Being A Student In An Art & Design School, That Was The Moment For Me, That Was When I Began To Develop A Lot Of Self-confidence And Really Come Into My Own.

Self Confidence

It's Not An Area Where Designers Want To Focus Or Pay Attention - Women Who Are Larger Than A Size 12.

We Shop Out Of Boredom, For Release, For Excitement, For A Sense Of Achievement, For A Sense Of Control Over Our Unruly Existences. And Every So Often, We Shop Because We Need Something To Wear.

Fashion Designer

My Role As The Chair Of The Fashion Department At Parsons Put Me Face To Face With All The Big Designers, Retailers, And Editors.

I Believe In Letting Karma Do Its Thing. What Comes Around Goes Around.
