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

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.

I like to write and draw everything with sharpies. I even got one with my own name on it!

I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.

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.

I think sometimes there are negative connotations for those who have a business mind as well as a creative side.

In the beginning I pushed toward perfection, but it takes time to get to certain places.
