I love intimate details like lingerie, something like a gorgeous silk stocking or exquisite slipper.

When designing a collection that is traditional, that has one specific sort of garment like a white dress, I think just being constantly attuned to trends really help.

I love when brides tell me they want to do something special and unique, but I'm not a fan of doing anything too crazy.

Living in New York, I get inspired by what young women are wearing - everything from high fashion to street fashion.

I think in the bridal world you definitely have to be on your toes at all times.

For theater, the fashion had to have a certain grandeur that would read on the stage while also flattering the actress. The same thing applies when doing a wedding dress, but the treatments can be more delicate and there can be much more detail.

Each season I try to incorporate something new that corresponds to the timing and the trends in everyday fashion.
