Consequently, here I am applying to one of the most prestigious fashion institutes in the country. Pursuing Parsons in hopes of becoming an advocate and clothing designer for those of us who climb on the kitchen counter, who need assistance at the grocery store for items on the top shelf, and who drive on top of the steering wheel to reach the foot pedals. Many designers have yet to look down and see petite people admiring the beautiful clothing they have constructed. The same women always on the prowl for making friends with the right tailors, admiring “average” length pieces from afar. It is time we start designing small and thinking big.
