my mother
has taught me
everything i know
about design



when i left
home for school
my mom got in the
habit of "tearing
and mailing"



just 1
image in
an envelope


that's it.



she still
does it.



and it means
the world to me.

the last great
model maker
in NYC

ben was already
back to work after
an exhausting month
of fashion week prep

most of the belts
bags and accessories
you see on the runways
were stitched, worked
and realized by ben


carolina herrera
oscar de la renta
zac posen, etc

ben is the ultimate
problem solver

he realizes your
designs "if you have
a dollar and a dream"

in ben's sun soaked
working studio on grand st
we talked about that most violent
day of our life - september 11
and how we don't forget.



the importance
of collaboration in the
creative process




the efficiency
of a clean mess




and what it's like
to get a frantic request
from a designer 2 days!
before a runway show.

lester beall
was the man


i like color
when it's done with
architectonic
clarity




i like design to be
semantically correct
syntactically consistent,
and pragmatically
understandable.

i wanted to put my
camera down and dance.
the prints & patterns
declared fela was
in the house!

fashion people
at fashion events
are so tense.


what's with
the death stares?


my camera and i
aimed to smile
at everyone


loosen up
the crowd
a bit



people smile
when you smile.
it's incredible.
