What’s A Stand Out Moment In Your Career?

The mentality for my retail company was “if we build it, they will come”. And the clients who came were very exciting. I met some fascinating characters.

We did all of the wardrobing for “Sex and the City” – the series and the movies. Any sort of music celebrity, from Pink to Celine Dion, came in for wardrobing for their tours. Rihanna was one of my favorite clients, because she always came in without a stylist and chose her own pieces. It was an honor to pick out clothes for people who could shop anywhere and have great style.

I did a huge collection for Target – 150 styles, 1,800 stores. I brought my downtown New York City style to an under $200 price point, and it was a huge success. The lesson there was money doesn’t necessarily mean style.
