Steven Kolb, CEO of the CFDA:

I used to work at DIFAA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) and I went to a Bob Mackie show at a hotel. A friend of mine that I worked with knew this model that used to work with Bob a lot, named Jan. She was in the show, and it was all TV characters, like Hollywood. Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, and that was my first fashion show. It was at some ballroom with ballroom chairs with red cushions.
