In September, the fourth novel by Angie Cruz, Fashion Design ’94, was reviewed on the cover of The New York Times Book Review, perhaps the first time an FIT alum has been featured in that much-coveted space. The book, How Not to Drown in a Glass of Water, is narrated by Cara Romero, a 56-year-old Dominican woman who lives in Washington Heights and was downsized from her factory job during the Great Recession. “Write this down,” she tells an employment counselor, “Cara Romero wants to work.” Cruz chatted with us about the novel, her career, and how studying fashion helped her writing.
