“I certainly don't dumb down the way I dress.” — Karen Katz Quote

“I certainly don't dumb down the way I dress.”

“What's changed in New York, and what made us really change our thinking about New York, is that the different neighborhoods are becoming more important as shopping destinations than they used to be.”

“Back when I was 15 or 16, in Dallas there was a department store called Sanger-Harris. One holiday season, I got a job as a gift wrapper there. The others were all experts who did that job every year, and I was by far the youngest person, who was totally inexperienced. In those days, department stores around Christmastime were a total frenzy.”

“The great thing about being young and dumb is that you don't know what you can't do.”

“I think you've got be willing as an interviewer to ask the dumb question every now and then.”

“There is a tendency to try to dumb everything down and turn everything into a one-paragraph press release or even less, just a slogan.”
