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.
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.
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.
jobs design done
The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'
focus consumers
When you focus on the consumer, the consumer responds.
team mean people
I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.
sports inspired intrigue
I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.
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.
growing-up college made
All my closest friends are the ones I made while in college or who knew me growing up. They keep me grounded, and I adore that about them.
