The best piece of advice was from my deceased mother. She told me, “Live your life to the fullest on your own terms!” Now I try my best to pass down all her wisdom down to my beautiful kids who never got the chance to meet her.

Tomorrow I will turn 59 years old — and the best advice I was ever given was from my mother. She said, "Be yourself." I try always to stay true to my heart, my dreams and my desires. I strive every day to be the best ME that I can be.

The best advice I’ve ever received, and still remind myself of daily, is to have the courage to live a life true to yourself and a life that will make you happy. I hope that my two daughters always see me actively having this courage and that they will lead happy lives being exactly who they want to be! ❤️

Best advice: Listen to what others are saying before you speak. Also, size is just a number. A smile and attitude is what people really see!

The best piece of advice I've gotten was to be yourself and never change who you are. Say how you feel and give 2nd Chances. But also be careful cautious and aware of your surroundings.

Best piece of advice was from my great aunt. Not everyone is going to like you so live your life and really give them something to talk about.

Best piece of advice I've ever gotten was from my wise grandpa. He said and I quote ... "Study hard, get a profession, work with conviction and be kind to others. That will take you far and if you at some point fall prey to a man that is not your equal and is not able to take care of you, then you can kick him out and be self sustained cuz you are an educated and strong woman." RIP GRANDPA. #HEWASMYDAD

The greatest advice I ever received was to make sure I surround myself with people who bring value to my life and to whom I can give value in return. This photo was taken by one of those people, Stacy Lyn Goodrich-Bohlinger, a creative and inspiring woman who makes me want to be the best I can be.

The best advice I was given was from my grandmother who said, “When things get hard always remember to inhale positivity and exhale negativity.” From that day on this became one of my life mottos. Thanks, grandma!

The best, and one of the most important, pieces of advice that was given to me was, "I was fearfully and wonderfully made. I am a gift. And to learn to love and encourage myself." This has truly helped shift my perception of how I view myself, love myself, and care for myself.

So it goes without saying that world-famous fashion events like NYFW should embody these values in every show they produce, right?
