fashion brother school
I was in fashion school, my brother has a law background, and my sister-in-law had worked in production, but none of us had a proper fashion business education.
school pace assistants
I thought I would attend school and get an assistant position and work my way up but being in NY and seeing the pace of everything, is very inspiring.
strong school kids
You know, when you go to high school or, you know, when kids are younger and there's not an understanding of differences. But I built up a very strong, thick skin.
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.
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.
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.
