Teaching Philosophy:
\n<\/strong>From the moment a student enters my classroom, it\u2019s my goal to help them explore their passion for fashion. I freely share stories from my own extensive career and teach them the ins and outs of the industry. Forecasting fashion trends means keeping your eyes wide open at all times to take in the beauty all around you. Sometimes it\u2019s the things we least expect that will inspire us the most.<\/p>\n
