More From Samuel Johnson

I had a very down-to-earth product, my wrap dress, which was really a uniform. it was just a simple little cotton-jersey dress that everybody loved and everybody wore. that one dress sold about 3 or 4 million. i would see 20, 30 dresses walking down one block. all sorts of different women. it felt very good. young and old, and fat and thin, and poor and rich.
