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.

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.

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.

Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.

Where music leads, I follow.

I think everyone shares a fear of failure-that you're only as good as your most recent collection.

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.
