“I was dating this guy and it was right before Christmas, and I said, ‘Let’s just not get each other anything.’ And he was like, ‘I wouldn’t even dare get you anything to wear!’ So then he buys me a ring. It was terrible. It was also enormous, so I was like, ‘How fat do you think my fingers are?’ It didn’t fit on any of them, not even my thumb!” —Carly Cushnie, designer, Cushnie et Ochs
“So many to choose from! A gift is always welcome, but I think it’s hard to buy for someone in fashion. I once received a history-of-fashion book, and I was just like, this is kind of the last thing I want. That’s my daily life. And I already had the book! Double whammy.” —Michelle Ochs, designer, Cushnie et Ochs
