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.

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.'

My friends always joke that I run on batteries.

No one is going to understand your brand better than you.

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.

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.

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