A part of my kind of design and inspiration ethos is that I carry around a leather notebook and I sketch in it, doodle in it, write notes in it and I put pictures in it.

Music has always been a dominant force in my life. As a young kid, it was a way for me to escape everyday life. Today, it's a source of expression. I enjoy looking at old photos of some of my favorite rock icons, but also get inspired from the younger bands that are coming up and really creating their own style, their own image.

The biggest ones [online stores] I go back to are Amazon.com and eBay.com because it’s great for music and books... I collect vintage vinyl records.

I grew up in a very small house with five brothers and sisters and my parents, all with one little bathroom. And from as early as I can remember, seven, eight years old, I was listening to music to get a way from it all. Then the discovery of all this amazing stuff that became more than just getting away from it, it became a part of my DNA.

I believe that if you think about what style means, you won't become a fashion victim.

It's not so much the color of suit as it is about the fit, cut, style, and, of course, attitude you have when wearing it.
