1. When I was a little girl, I thought that I’d grow up to be a dancer. I eagerly went to every single class my mom enrolled me in and practiced diligently. By the time I was twelve, I was taking ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and hip hop and excelling at them all (as much as a 12-year-old can excel at anything). Alas, real life kicked in and I became a fashion editor instead. I still have a soft spot in my heart for dancers, though. The girls from Rodarte’s fall 08 show look like a group of especially beautiful ballerinas waiting for class to begin—it was one of my favorite shows of the season.
