Brooke Shields has 1,200 ‘Brooke Shields’ brand hair dryers in her garage x Veronique Hyland
“FIT’s graduation today featured a keynote speaker who is synonymous with “eyebrows on fleek”: Brooke Shields. The model turned actress and author delivered a warm, funny, inspiring speech that touched on the importance of making mistakes (whether it was an ’80s blow-dryer endorsement that didn’t exactly fly off the shelves, or dating George Michael) to the creative lessons she learned from working with Richard Avedon.
