My mom would take me to restaurants, and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin, and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes.

I don't care how small or big they are, insects freak me out.

I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.

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.'

There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.

I wear sports clothes because I feel comfortable in them.
