“I always cite the opera divas, like Leontyne Price. I mean, of course I’m an old fart, so I go back to these people who aren’t around anymore. But Leontyne Price and Marilyn Horne and Beverly Sills, I mean, they were glamour queens, and they were women who were not a size two …. It’s about silhouette, proportion and fit. That’s my mantra when it comes to getting fashion right.” Project Runway’s Tim Gunn

To which intensely reasoned wisdom La Cieca will humbly append her own personal fashion mantra:

“There is no such thing as too much boa.”
