Girl, You're Going to Make it After All

 Now that I'm teaching Fashion Marketing and Management courses I am getting up to speed on the designers. First I watched The September Issue about Editor in Chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour. She is all about visionary and commanding leadership. 


Just now I watched Unzipped, about Isaac Mizrahi, to get a taste of runway fashion extravagance. Isaac is also visionary, as well as pacesetting in his leadership style. What I loved most about the film, besides his dayglow fake fur styling (oh so cozy), is the theme song from the Mary Tyler Moore show which seemed to be part of his inspiration for this collection. It struck a chord with me - perhaps my theme song. Plus, I seem to have Mary's fashion sense in my current wardrobe.

"Love is All Around" by Paul Williams - Mary Tyler Moore Show Lyrics


Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all
