The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'

Where music leads, I follow.

If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.

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.

I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.

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