The Clothes We Wear Send A Message

Nothing Makes Me Happier Than Working With Real People In The Real World.

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.

I Would Never Dream Of Telling People How To Dress. But I Do Say To Them, However You Are Dressing, Accept Responsibility For It. And Also, Unless Asked, I Don't Judge. And If Asked To Judge - I Would Approach It Socratically, I Would Approach It With Questions.

The Color, The Shape, And The Texture--none Of It Is Accidental. Every Item We Wear Has A Glorious (or Sometimes Not So Glorious) History, And That History Extends Back Years--centuries, Even--before Oscar De La Renta's 2002 Collection.

Life Is A Big Collaboration - And When You're Tackling Something That Is Painful And Troubling And Is Causing You Such Desperate Grief That You Think Life's Not Worth Living - You Need To Reach Out. To People Who Will Reach Back.
