Episode 107—Where Do Your Dreams Take You?
Today’s guest is Kenneth D. King, sewing and couture expert and an adjunct instructor at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in Manhattan. He teaches at his studio in New York City and travels extensively in the United States, teaching fitting and couture sewing techniques. He is also a contributing editor to Threads magazine. Kenneth is the author of a number of books on garment design and drafting, as well as the books Doll Couture and Doll Couture: Red Carpet Edition. Kenneth shares the inspiration behind these books—rooted in a childhood love of making clothing for Barbie dolls—and encourages all of us to chase our dreams because we never know where they will take us.
