Kim Foley Interview

We published an interview with graduate designer Kim Foley today on the magazine side. The buzz around her is noteworthy. Having worked under Alexander McQueen and Carolina Herrera, Foley is poised to do some amazing things. We first saw her line at the Caravan fashion show this past New York fashion week. She shot some pieces from her line with her equally talented cousin slash photographer Jennifer Foley (who incidentally also graduated from FIT). Here’s an excerpt from the photo story slash interview:

PD: Through all the adversity, have you ever felt like you wanted to give up?

Although it hasn’t always gone as I had hoped, I never felt like just giving up. Being a positive person, I would just try a new route. The fashion industry is in my blood and I feel that I have the energy and talent to make a contribution. Creating the garments, working with the models, the photographers and seeing my work in a magazine is so satisfying and fun. There have been some times when I become frustrated because I couldn’t continue in the way that I wanted, but it has actually opened some new doors for opportunity and growth. One thing I have learned over the years is to accept new experiences. Although these new challenges may not appear exciting at first, try and make the best out of it, you might end up really enjoying it.
