A motivating and inspiring episode with Roberson Keffer, Macy's Vice President Fashion Director for Home. Roberson teaches us to listen to our passions, there is no such thing as an overnight success in fashion, and to never stray away from standing up and saying something that is bigger than yourself. Be open and willing to be yourself and never think you have to sacrifice your authentic self in order to succeed. Fashion needs uniqueness, it's the time of celebrating the individual.  Find Roberson on Instagram @robersonkeffer For more fashion, style, and culture inspiration follow Ivanka on Instagram @ivanka.dekoning
