Laurel Berman: founder/designer of Black Halo, roller blader






"There's so much to be said for being happy with yourself regardless of size. When you are uncomfortable, you are sad. When you feel good and want to show off, you wear clothes that reflect that feeling."





On her love for roller blading:





"I love to roller blade through Central Park. When I went to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit, I shipped my roller blades and did laps in the park. I felt a little old school, so 1990s. I guess roller blading is out of fashion now because I was about the only one doing it. That's ok. I've always been a bit of a rebel."
