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.

Ive always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag.

All my closest friends are the ones I made while in college or who knew me growing up. They keep me grounded, and I adore that about them.

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

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.

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.

I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.
