I grew up in different orphanages in Israel, and if they gave me a pair of shoes, a shirt, and pair of pants every year, I was lucky. The rest was handouts, leftover clothes. So I appreciated clothes because I only had one new shirt each year.

Don't bring me problems. Bring me solutions.

Getting up in the morning and loving what you do is a dream come true.

Financially Im comfortable. But life has a lot more in store for me.

I got involved in fashion by accident. When I got to New York, my intention was to have enough money to eat and to stay and I don't have to leave. I just loved New York - the energy, the culture, the freedom.

It doesn't matter if it's raining and dark. The sun is shining above the clouds.

It's not about the outside, it's the inside. But dressing on the outside can help the inside.
