"Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself." -Oscar de la Renta

The most rewarding part of my job is the opportunity to see my students develop as individuals, from the first day of class to embarking upon a career in the fashion industry. It is something that makes what I do very rewarding and fulfilling.
