Patricia, Brad has been asked that question for years and no, he does not. My boys were home for Christmas this year and I got to see Brad in action as he designed and completed 2 pieces for Azealia. He did sketches, then a pattern which he sent to her, then to his sewer so they could be delivered in time for New Year Eve. Amazing how quickly Brad and his team can make this happen. For one dress (an outfit for a performance) Brad had to sew several flowers that were used as appliqués then overnight them the day after Christmas.
For the record, Brad has always been a design standout, recognized in college, Chicago Art Institute, later working in Europe with an international designer.
