I've always said I'm not the kind of designer who likes to lock himself away in a studio and let the rest of the company deal with it. I work very closely with everyone on the team.

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

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

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

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.

The things that you can't really foresee and that kind of surprise you, and a lot of times they are bad, but other times, they bring something different and new to the table.
