"How to Be a Legendary Designer: Lessons From...
From the May issue of Elle Decor, via Curbed National, who has kindly collected some gems from the 10-page feature: 10: Be born in Paris, and preferably in the 1950s when it “was very much still a 19th-century town” with “dressmaker[s] who made your clothes.” Always be nostalgic for these times, even in the age of online shopping. 9: Move to Manhattan at age 25.
