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

You know, when you go to high school or, you know, when kids are younger and there's not an understanding of differences. But I built up a very strong, thick skin.

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

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.

A lot of my work is a matter of reacting to surprises in life.

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

I wear sports clothes because I feel comfortable in them.
