I’m not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it’s on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context.

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.

My mom would put me in these preppy little suits and slick my hair to the side. I have these baby pictures of me where I'm this little preppy kid with a sweater tied around my neck.

My mission was that I wanted to see people on the street that I don't know wearing my clothes. That excites me.

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

Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing.

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.
