Ruben's Story
I have always been a positive type person with the Believe that my dreams could not be stopped and I proved myself right.
AFTER ART AND DESIGN CLASS OF '64, I WENT TO WORK FOR A FASHION HOUSE ON 7TH AVENUE AND REALIZED THAT I HAD A FLARE FOR FASHION. SO I ENROLLED AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (FIT) AND GRADUATED CLASS OF '67. IN HIGH SCHOOL I MAJORED IN ADVERTIZING. AFTER FIT I WENT ON TO BECOME THE INFAMOUSE DESIGNER "ZURC" WITH MUCH ACCLAIM AND RECOGNITION WITHIN MY FIELD. NOWADAYS, I'M A TENURED PROFESSOR AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IN NEW YORK CITY AND I AM STILL A WORKING DESIGNER.
I always wanted to be a designer when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a bad idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.

If I won $100 million, I'd give a lot of it to education, then spend the rest on travel, family and insurence.
My best friend would tell you I'm happy-go-lucky, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as serioous.
I'm in the Fashion Business so I believe in change
Designer of the year Award in my field.
My first job was at a fashion house, where I got paid next to nothing to sketch dresses. What I remember most about it is that i did not know anything about dresses.
