I just don't like conspicuous consumption. I find it distasteful.

There's nothing I like better than going to my apartment, closing the door, cooking my little dinner for one and just tuning out. My apartment really is my haven. It's a nest where I go to heal.

Everyone has a best feature, so find clothes and accessories to accentuate those, whether it's your shoulders or your long legs!

With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.

Whoever's designing for plus-size doesn't get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can't just take a size 8 and make it larger.

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.
