The King and I: How I designed a jumpsuit fit for Elvis
I fell into wardrobe design by accident. When I was a kid, I was always drawing; my mother said I could draw before I could speak. When I was 20, I went to Los Angeles to try and get work, and after living on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a year, I eventually got a job at a costume shop. It was there that I discovered I had a flair for embroidery. Before long, I had earned a reputation as one of the best embroiderers in LA.
