Art has definitely influenced how I think of design, both as individual items and as a body of work.

I always think clothing is like a scrapbook: you remember all the good memories and the past times.

The whole point is that colors that are harder to wear, like pink, less expected, or maybe not as commercial; if they're used in the right way, they can make a design way more compelling, especially in menswear where color isn't often used. I think it's really exciting to have a lot of color in men's stuff.

Everything looks cute when it's small.

You have to [go outside your comfort zone]. Andy Warhol said 'say yes to everything'.

I try to look at design from a more conceptual standpoint.
