PROFILES IN PROFILE: MOLLY PAULSEN, FASHION DESIGNER

The fashion industry is abuzz like so many obnoxious mosquitoes over the latest and all-time greatest designer, Molly Paulsen. Paulsen has single-handedly revolutionized the industry by crafting unique accessories through untapped and recycled materials. Some of her most famous and sought after pieces include a skirt made from the cries of Malawi children, sunglasses for your Maltipoo, fishnet stockings for your fishnets, and a porkpie hat composed entirely of Walter Matthau.
A graduate of the West Point Military Academy of Design, Paulsen apprenticed with the great Jean-Luc Frente, who in turn was apprenticing her, in a complex and not-at-all possible student-teacher exchange program. Working her way up through the rather unglamorous world of safety-wear (where she pioneered the three-piece Hazmat suit, denim life-preserver vest, and mono-goggles, the monocle safety goggle for super-villains and hoi polloi,) Paulsen quickly made a name for herself, and soon was asked to return that name to its rightful owner, Ricky Green. It was a lesson Paulsen wouldn’t soon forget, but eventually forgot, nonetheless.
Here are just a few of the quotable quotes that have been bandied about like so many mosquitoes by the Fashion Industry Giants:
-“Hot! Hot! Hot! Okay, now that I’ve put down that potato, let me tell you my opinion of Molly Paulsen. Guffaw!” NY Times.
-“Like Yves St-Laurent meets Picasso for lunch, and Picasso orders a salad. Hip, trendy, edgy, now, fierce, friendly, raven, writing desk, butterfly, beautiful, buzzword.” Vogue
-“Rarr! Grr! I’m a Fashion Industry Giant! Smash! Crackle!” Tyra Banks
