Author award-winning television writer and producer Susan Fales-Hill sat down in The Greene Space with fashion icon Pat Cleveland.

An international supermodel, Cleveland was part of the group of African-American models who revolutionized the staid cat walks of Paris couture in the legendary fashion show at Versailles in 1973. 

In this freewheeling exchange, Cleveland will share her perspective on the world of fashion today, as well as anecdotes from her new memoir "Walking with the Muses."  

Recorded Sept. 9, 2016.
