blue jeans office
I wear mostly black Main Line or T… But the other day, the sun was shining so I wore blue jeans. It caused so much excitement in the office! People were literally coming up from the floor below and peering behind my desk saying; we hear you’re wearing blue jeans and we have to have a look
sports growing-up technology
I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.
class taught patterns
No one ever taught me, and I never had formal classes in pattern making, so I was like, Okay, I'll just drape, and I'll sew as I pin it.
challenges want next
Time passes faster and faster, but with every project I always want to find the next challenge and the next challenge is just as exciting as the previous one.
clothes people missions
My mission was that I wanted to see people on the street that I don't know wearing my clothes. That excites me,
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.
mistake inspired kind
I always say that I'm really inspired by mistakes and things that kind of go wrong.
different tables kind
The things that you can't really foresee and that kind of surprise you, and a lot of times they are bad, but other times, they bring something different and new to the table.
nike fashion shoes
Any style that Nike makes in all black, shoe, sweatshirt, onesie, doesn't matter, I pretty much need to have.
simple perfect fabric
I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.
sailing sitting exotic
I'm not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it's on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context.
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.
giving-up believe sound
Go with your instinct and your gut. It sounds cliché, but never give up and just keep on. If you really believe in it, you have to just dive in and go for it.
brands better-than-you
No one is going to understand your brand better than you.
