A lot of designers get caught up in the creativity, but you've got to think about the legs of your collection - essentially, how the line is going to move forward.

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

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

I always say that I'm really inspired by mistakes and things that kind of go wrong.

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

I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.
