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 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.
moving creativity thinking
A lot of designers get caught up in the creativity, but you've got to think about the legs of your collection - essentially, how the line is going to move forward.
girl thinking creative
If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.
hard-work thinking challenges
I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.
fashion thinking clothes
There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.
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.
