他父親是搞金融的,母親是律師。家里7個孩子,不是律師,就是醫生,只有他是異類。他混過演藝圈,但沒能走紅。后來,他成了阿瑪尼專賣店的一名售貨員,踏入時裝行業,還創立了自己的品牌。奧巴馬宣誓就職時,時尚偶像、第一夫人米歇爾穿的禮服就是他的作品。談到成功的秘訣,他說,做自己。
????當然,奧巴馬夫人身穿由他設計的服裝出席就職典禮之后,這個來自艾倫鎮的男人也迎來了事業的巔峰。布朗尼表示,奧巴馬夫人的外套,設計靈感源自一款男士真絲領帶。對于嘲諷和榮譽,他已經能夠坦然面對。因為他意識到,自己的個性已經為他贏得了聲望。對于希望未來像他一樣有影響力的年輕人,布朗尼給他們最好的建議是:“擁有一個真正明確的立場,同時保證它是獨一無二的。”(財富中文網) ????譯者:劉進龍/汪皓 |
????Of course, with Mrs. Obama wearing his coat and dress ensemble—a design inspired by a man's silk tie, Browne says--the man from Allentown is at a career high. He's fine with the barbs as well as the kudos because his individuality, he realizes, has earned him his fame. Browne's best advice to young people who hope to be as influential as he is someday? "Have a real clear point of view, and make sure it's a unique point of view," he says. |
