"After these experiences she landed in New York to study at the Mayer School of Fashion Design to get a "hands on" education in illustration, sewing, draping, and patternmaking, as she already had a degree in philosophy. This was the only design school located in the garment center, and after a ten-month course she had acquired the skills to find work there."
