Everyone always asks me who my muse is, or who's the girl I have in mind, which is such a hard question for me to answer because I feel like it's a sensibility that varies for each individual.

You know, when you go to high school or, you know, when kids are younger and there's not an understanding of differences. But I built up a very strong, thick skin.

When you focus on the consumer, the consumer responds.

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

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.

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

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.'
