The responses I tend to give are usually accompanied by an awkward chuckle and an eye roll. I sometimes think my eyes will roll so far into the back of my head that I could pass out. I never have, but it's always a possibility.
Questions:
- "Woah, that's cool... Why menswear?" (Pretty basic, this doesn't get an eye roll.)
- "No wayyyyyyy!? How do I look?" (The drunk guy hitting on me at a party... Not that this happens very often, sadly, but when it does, this is it.)
- "When I get married, will you make my husband's tux?!?!" (My girl-friends)
- "When can we buy your shit in the stores?" (My guy-friends)
- "Can you make me a smoking jacket or a trench coat?" (Once again, my guy-friends)
- "Did you get a job yet?" (My Parents)
- I tend to feel like menswear found me, I always wanted to be in fashion. It's what I sort of gravitated to when applying to colleges. I met with a college recruiter who said I had a masculine portfolio and she put me through to the menswear programs at different schools. (There's much more to that story but that's generally all I get to say given the person's attention span.)
