Dressing The Rockettes

"I dress the Rockettes at Radio City and I dress the stars on Broadway: Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Savion Glover, all the stars that come to Broadway, they request me and I do my thing. And actually, Broadway came to *me*.  I'm an artist and designer: I do interiors, I do clothes, I do leather bags, jewelry, everything. And someone saw something that I made--I had a show--and they wore it to work. They asked me to come in and show my stuff and I didn't realize it was Radio City. I walked in the door and they said, 'You're hired!' I said, 'For what? I'm here to show my stuff.' They said, 'You're hired to dress the Rockettes!' That was 20 years ago and the rest is history."
