I started working there around my junior year of high school as a studio Intern and worked there right until I graduated. It wasn’t until I was working in a showroom by Cooper Square called Albright Fashion Library that I met the most amazing people. I’ve always had two jobs! Doing PR, Marketing, Styling, Tailoring I’ve tried it all (laughs). And that’s where I discovered my talent in fashion.ĭuring those four years, I had my first ever garment featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art I’ve started working in any possible way I can in the fashion industry. So, on the first day of school, I went to the fashion teacher Gary Osborne, who replaced the teacher who taught Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs when they attended Art & Design High School and told him that, even when he did not know who I was, I wanted to learn the world of fashion. When I got accepted to Art & Design high school, I remember Ms.Schorr telling me I should consider majoring in fashion. Schorr, and she taught me the world of fine art and illustration and the artistry of life drawing. In middle school, I had the most amazing art teacher: Ms. I also remember asking my parents if I could be an artist, and, luckily, I grew up in New York City because there are loads of public schools that students are allowed to have majors or specialties as early as middle school. When I was five years old, I remember having little hobbies and asking my parents what they thought about it I remember wanting to be a hairdresser, cook, fireman! But they said no cause it’s dangerous (laughs).īut I remember one day my mother taught me to draw one of those “3 Dimensional” houses and, I was blown away by how something so simple made me so happy.
