Key Takeaways:

• Leading with empathy and compassion—not ego—is fundamental to success, even in competitive industries like fashion.

 Standout Sound Bytes:

“I try to avoid, as much as possible, telling people what to do… ask enough questions in a way that will get that individual to see what I’m seeing is a great thrill to experience.”

“Don’t chase trends. If there’s something that’s trending in fashion that you really respond to, fine, embrace it. But otherwise, just turn the other cheek, ignore it.”

“Silence is the death of any relationship.”
