biggest misconception about working in the fashion industry?

Fashion PR = Professional Party Girl and this is not the case

favorite part of your day:
Seeing the new collection, talking to my clients who I love, talking to editors who I love - then again to clients and then again to editors and so it goes...

rag & bone silk side button blouse in lavender, rag & bone rbw9 zipper jeans in black, YSL shoes, Chanel printed scarf, Trovata wool trench coat,
Duckie Brown purple cashmere hat (a gift from the Duckies), Be&D "Locket" bag.

first big fashion purchase:
Fendi bag (when I briefly worked at Neiman Marcus in Las Vegas, yeah baby)

most recent fashion purchase:
Be&D "Perry" bag in cobalt, Stretsis green wool double lapel coat, Stretsis purple silk halter dress with glasses print.

who are the young influencers right now?

Rag & Bone, Duckie Brown, Rogues GalleryStretsis (sisters spelled backwards), Rory Beca (she's the new DVF), Be&D handbags.

if God was giving out jobs today what would your dream job be
other than the one you already have?
To be exhibiting my art work, which incorporates my obsessive love of fashion.
