you're a straight guy, why fashion? I love clothes and shopping. I always felt the way you dressed and looked was another way to express your individuality. I can't lie...I love the glitz and glamour!
what was your first internship/job in fashion? I was in my 3rd year at F.I.T. (Fashion Insitute of Technology in New York City) and got an internship at LaForce & Stevens PR firm. It was through a good friend and it was my first shot in the industry. I actually started doing PR for beauty before fashion.
what's the toughest thing you have to deal with in your job?
Firing an employee.
favorite places to shop? Saks Fifth Avenue, Barney's Co-Op, Uniqlo, Neiman Marcus
what's one thing about fashion PR that people may not know?
It's not all that glamorous.
men's designers you dig the most? (besides D&G)
Calvin Klein, Armani and Diesel
what are your survival needs during a busy fashion week?
Sleep, coffee, food, alcohol and drugs!
best weekday lunch spot downtown?
what's your man bag and what's in it?
D&G (of course) and inside is my Blackberry, personal cell phone, weekly planner, gum, water, iPod and umbrella.
