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

I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.

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

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.

I seem to always start a collection by designing outerwear and jackets.

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.

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