Chef, Tulsa
What was your first fashion moment? I think it was my senior prom – that was in the ‘60s, and I wore a really fabulous pair of lace bell-bottoms and a beautiful matching blouse. I had very long hair, and it was done up, and I felt so cool walking into the venue. There were all typical prom dresses, and then me! Loved it.
What is your favorite article of clothing? That’s tough – one article would be a Ghost burgundy shearling jacket that was a runway piece. Ghost never put the jacket into production, and the New York rep, who was a friend, gave me the piece. Another favorite is a long, black leather mermaid skirt that I got in London.
Which designers do you admire most? Iceberg, Dior, Velvet, Yves Saint Laurent, Missoni and Moschino. I love to see clothing that makes a dare – even a subtle dare, as long as you can look at the item, tell it has some imagination and that you feel like you want to touch it.
What song best describes your fashion sense or sense of style? “Start Me Up” by the Rolling Stones.
