I don't have the luxury of making clothes just to make an effect. It can't be something totally frivolous, because my distributors have to have a successful season, too.

To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it.

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.

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!

Fashion should be fun and accessible.

I just love the whole idea of conversational prints.

I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit.
