I was just wrapping up my education and I thought I was going to go into the mill system.

I thought I was going to go into a very traditional employment and make cloth and make textiles.

And I had done this really wonderful thing where I had spent a summer with the last remaining shakers on earth up in Sabbath Day Lake, Maine.

And I had access to all their archives and their clothes.

This is 1998.

And I based my degree show, my graduate show on it.

And at fashion school, all students sort of, they're very outre.

You know, they use lots of color and pattern and feathers.

And if they can sequin a thing, they sequin it.

And I had created this collection that was incredibly somber, very respectful of the shakers.

It was quite monastic.

It was very simple.

And I watched all these companies come through my college and start to hire graduates.

They would go to Prada.

They would go to Gucci.

And I thought, oh, I'm never going to get a job because I'm maybe a little too melancholy.

And suddenly the Calvin Klein team came through and they said, this is minimalism.

I remember it's the end of the 90s.

And they said, would you like to come to New York?

And I had no family home.
