#GOODMemories
Tell us about a favorite fashion week memory.
This season, showing our FW21 collection at the Koch Theater was an absolute dream. I grew up attending the ballet at Lincoln Center and have countless memories of my children’s sparkling faces at the Nutcracker each year. It was really a shining moment amidst the darkness of recent months, and beyond my wildest dreams.
