How I Got Started in the Fashion Industry!

by on ‎09-24-2013 03:37 PM

Fashion Week was quite exciting for me this year! I had the great pleasure of filming a web cast at Bryant Park in New York with the beautiful and very talented Courtney Cason


Before filming we reached out to my Facebook friends for questions they wanted me to answer. Click "play" to watch this fantastic video and hear the questions and answers. One may be yours!




I took Courtney for a walk down memory lane where my career in the fashion industry began. First we met at 1407 Broadway, New York in the heart of the garment district. This is where I landed my first job in the fashion industry over 35 years ago. I had the great opportunity of meeting various merchandisers from every major department and specialty store throughout the country. 



Next, we took a walk around the corner to 1411 Broadway where I opened my own company designing and manufacturing. Not long after, QVC literally walked into my showroom where both myself and my mother-in-law Audrey Graver designed my collection and placed a test order... The rest is history for both me and Audrey!

The designing continues... Watch this Thursday, 9-11 AM ET and Sunday,

See you then!
