Inside the Empire Costume Closet
“This is very special. The very first dress Cookie wore when she got out of jail was her leopard dress. When I thought about her re-emerging into society, that was her thing. I always think, what would she go towards in a store? This was her first outfit walking through the Empire board room with a big fur coat. I love that. I feel like the world met Cookie and fell in love with her then.”
