You may have noticed that I try to keep knowledge about my personal life to a minimum on this blog. I rarely photograph myself sporting the items I make because I want you to take my examples and inject your own personal style into re-creating them. However, something so fantastically exciting happened Wednesday night that I can't resist sharing! Part of my duties as President for NYU's Fashion Business Association include finding guest speakers from the industry to give lectures to our members. I sent an email to Scott Schuman of
The Sartorialist about a month ago, and he agreed to fit a FBA lecture into his schedule between work gigs in Moscow and Rio.
Scott was so nice, down to earth, and sarcastic - just my sense of humor! When asked about how his blog was first received he recalled"People would think ‘Satirist? Is that a comedy website? Maybe he doesn’t know how to spell?’" He graciously stayed well past the Q&A session, speaking individually to
every student who waited in line.

Maybe this Carbon Couturiere has a future career in event planning?

thats pretty freakin awesome. what a fun experience..
I always see Scott around and I want to say something but I never do. The first time I ever saw him, almost 2 years ago, I took a super creepy camera phone shot in the middle of my phone call and emailed it to him [with my own dry humor attached, since it down poured moments after] and he was so sweet.
Congrats on the event :)
This is so cool! I guess it never hurts to ask :)
