As a designer looking to the future, you don't want to get lost in the archives.
I remember watching 'The Carol Burnett Show' with my parents as a kid. All those weird outfits she wore, like turtlenecks and long skirts, really stayed in my head.
I used to sit in bed at night and flip through design-school catalogs. I found out that Parsons accepted a small number of high school juniors, so I applied my sophomore year and got in.
Let me tell you, I'm not sure if America runs on donuts, but I sure do! Nothin' like a little simple sugar icing to get the blood pumping at 9:00 A.M.
Life in New York is one of succumbing to a tidal wave of control and direction, of numbing oneself to emotion.
I love how New York as an idea is less a paradigm of manifest destiny and more a romance for the social orphans of the world. We live here to be among the towers and the crowds.
I have a fleet of Rimowa Topas aluminum suitcases! They're all covered in stickers from around the world.
