I always say the next big thing will happen in unexpected places - up and coming cities that aren't necessarily boom markets.

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

I love history. I love art. I like to mix it all together, but in the end it somehow has to all make sense.

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 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."

Fashion should be fun and accessible.

I love the fact that fashion always changes, and I hate the fact that it always changes.
