I don't have a connection to the fashion world at all.

I'm a tall woman. At work, that means a lot of my co-stars have to stand next to me on apple crates. But apparently, my height bodes well in the fashion world.

I'd certainly welcome him to the upper echelon of the fashion world. I'm pleased to see it, too.

And lots of other things in the fashion world.

I feed off the fashion world like a parasite.

I don't expect to fit in right away but I do sense that the fashion world is rooting for me, too. I'm not being treated like a celebrity wannabe fashion designer. But even if I was, it doesn't really matter because I'm doing this for me ... but it does feel really good when you have a hit,
