Mitch lets us into his house and his office, where we see both sides of the man who supplies the skins for the city's top designers. We watch him dress his daughter in the morning as he talks about the importance of family, and see him dominate a staff meeting, pushing his employees to sell more. Mitch invites us into his archives, where he pulls out his prints and exotic skins from the 70's and 80's and tells us about dressing like a 'freakin' dork'. Mitch demonstrates the endless drive and passion that made him a necessary part of New York's fashion industry. Written by Anonymous See less
