I have a big responsibility to my licenses. All my licenses draw from and take ideas from the runway.

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.

I never intended being a business person I wanted to be a fashion designer.

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.

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

Fashion should be fun and accessible.

You just pray that something is going to hit you like lightning. Like a movie, a book, or a photograph, a painting, something that you can riff on it and learn more about it and explore it, and just go on a journey with it. So lots of times when I choose a theme, I'll also incorporate other things that I'm doing at that period.
