No one has ever found a solution for not doing a fashion show.

I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit.

To me if you're going have a show, it should be a show. It should be entertaining and take you on a journey.

I love punk, I love a lot of British Invasion bands, I love garage bands.

I knew since the age of four that I wanted to be a clothing designer. I read an article in LIFE magazine about two young ladies that graduated from Parsons School of Design, and when they graduated they went to Paris and Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor opened a boutique for them. So I thought, "Oh, I just have to go to Parsons, that's all."

I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.

You still get the sheer quality coming through but you're covered.
