I'm one of the biggest introverts you could ever meet.

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.

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.

Remember someone is going to be out, so don’t make it you.
Tim Gunn
Image
I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.

Things are recalibrated according to new perspectives and perceptions. It's fascinating to me.

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.

The element of fashion I'd like to see more often? Clothes that fit people well. For me it's not so much about the clothes.
