So it was kind of a fascinating thing.Īnd so, you know, if I’m going to open vintage clothes and say that my vintage clothes are the best vintage clothes, why not name the store after the Best-Dressed Woman in the World? So, you know, her husband was the richest man in the world. And her Sapphire sits next to the Hope Diamond. So when I was studying in college, and I was looking in labs, I mean, I was looking at her oak couture, you know, wardrobe, she left her jewelry to the Smithsonian.

And when she died, she left her wardrobe to the University of Kentucky. She was from Lexington, and she was the first American woman to be named Best-Dressed Woman in the World in 1933. Patric: So it’s named Mona Williams because as I said, I went to the University of Kentucky. So the name of your store, where did you get that from? Now I need to go back to your store for a minute because I passed over one of my notes that I’d written. So you shouldn’t have these things in your closet or in your life that you’re afraid of.īob: I love that idea. So if you want to wear your Tuxedo jacket to McDonald’s, and you spill ketchup on it, no biggie. So nothing goes to the dry cleaner and nothing is off-limits. But I teach you everything because I believe that everything you own can be washed. So I have to kind of hold it till the end. So I’m afraid if I do it early, that, you know, then people are no longer interested. But it’s the thing everybody wants to know.
