When designer Joseph Altuzarra was a young boy his mother allowed him and his younger brother Charles choices. “If they didn’t want to wear their coats,” says Karen Altuzarra, “I would tell them, fine, but if they didn’t want to wear their coats, they could go stand in the corner. And they would often do just that, until they were ready to do what I wanted them to do, which was put on their coats. But it was their choice to stand in the corner.”
當設計師約瑟夫•奧圖扎拉(Joseph Altuzarra)還是個小男孩時,母親卡倫(Karen Altuzarra)就允許他和他弟弟查爾斯(Charles Altuzarra)自己做選擇。卡倫說:「如果兄弟倆不想穿大衣,我會告訴他們,沒關係,只是不想穿的話就要去牆角站著。他們往往真的會那麼做,一直站到願意去做我讓他們做的事爲止,也就是穿上大衣。不過,去牆角罰站是他們自己選擇的。」
