There are always different influences each season. It could be a person, it could be a piece of furniture; it depends on what I'm obsessing about.

What people look to me for is a whole look. People come to me for icing on the cake, not a basic stretch pant.

A piece of fabric can get me going.

From the season I did the butterfly faux tattoos on the models on the runway, every collection we do has to have a butterfly t-shirt or trim or print. People come to me for butterflies!

I think about that all of the time and I have this fantasy that I am going to work at a museum someday! I would love to do something like that!

The sexiest thing about a bikini is that it leaves something to the imagination, which is the best part.
