Who are your favorite designers and why?

"I'm no connoisseur, let alone an expert, on style. But I'll say that my scrawny size has led me to a better understanding of which designers offer slim-fit clothes: Theory and Prada for formal wear, for example. When I lived for a year in Rome, I finally was able to find pants that wouldn't fall off me. I guess the Italians are pretty scrawny, too."
