What is (or was) a day at work like for you? We totally understand that the nature of creative
work is fluid, that there can be hourly changes and an infinite number of tasks that change day
to to day. But what is/was the essence of your job? What are/were you responsible for?
Answer:

What is your earliest fashion memory? When did you know you were interested in creating and
exploring beauty, or the meaning of style?
Answer:

How did you get started? Did you have a traditional education or apprenticeship? Could you

Answer:

What was it like seeing your name next to famous ones for the first time? How long did it take
for that to become normal? Did it ever? Do you prefer it when your name is listed in credits on
an editorial spread, or do you like it more when it's just the image?

you've had to overcome on a shoot? Some moment when you had to create magic on a scale even
you were kind of surprised with?
Answer:

We always want book recommendations. What are the fashion/art/etc. books that you love the
most? What books are essential to your aesthetic, or were vital in developing your vision? Or,
what are the fashion books you think are just the most fun? Because we truly believe that work
and play are very much entertained.

Or, do you have any movie (documentary or cinematic) or TV shows to recommend? Any media
like that which inspires you, or appeals to your aesthetic?
