running able wake-up
I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.
thinking fear-of-failure share
I think everyone shares a fear of failure-that you're only as good as your most recent collection.
thinking creative mind
I think sometimes there are negative connotations for those who have a business mind as well as a creative side.
fashion editors sweaters
When I decided to launch my first knitwear line, it was because I saw a void in the basics category. The editors were always looking for cool, fashion-forward tees and sweaters. So that's where I started.
moving always-trying next
It's hard sometimes to take a step back and realize what's happened because you're always trying to move forward. You're always looking at the next palette.
girl bags wallets
Ive always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag.
perfection certain it-takes-time
In the beginning I pushed toward perfection, but it takes time to get to certain places.
pieces inspired audience
If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.
sports clothes feels
I wear sports clothes because I feel comfortable in them.
Where music leads, I follow.
mom baby kids
My mom would put me in these preppy little suits and slick my hair to the side. I have these baby pictures of me where I'm this little preppy kid with a sweater tied around my neck.
fashion thinking editors
I don't think fashion week will go back to what it used to be because people are realising that the industry is completely changing. It's not just in Bryant Park any more, people are figuring out who their audience is, where they want to show, they aren't really playing by the rules. It's not so much about these editors, these buyers.
design understanding important
Designing a product and understanding how it filters through into the market and into the rest of the company is very important to me.
matter surprise surprise-in-life
A lot of my work is a matter of reacting to surprises in life.
