When that collection started picking up momentum, they fired her and told her to pursue her own collection. If you were efficient, there was a finite amount of work. She would see me do [my own work] and when she fired me it was gentle and a slap in the face at the same time. I need a paycheck.

Minkoff started with a five-piece collection, and most of it was selling deconstructed I Love New York T-shirts. They kept writing about that shirt. It was in Us Weekly like five times. It was in OK magazine, it was in In Style.

It just kept fueling it. Elfman used another one in the movie instead. You could go out and meet your Mr. Over the next four years, they grew percent.
