Music is such an important element in creating the drama that a runway show needs in order to be memorable and to make the clothes come to life.

Designing the prints was very much like writing a story with characters, [inspired by] some of my my favorite icons of the time: Eva Perón and Josephine Baker.

You walk a fine line when you have a performance at a show just as you do with having celebrities attend a show - you never want the attention to be drawn too far away from the clothing.

It's too hot for me to bother with wearing my hair down in the summer. I'd rather pin it up in braids, or throw it in a top knot so I don't have to think about it the rest of the day.

I love the idea of a woman's suit, but I wanted something that was a little easier to wear.

I've always been a huge fan of matching sets and vibrant prints.

The best part about DJing a fashion show after-party or event is being able to correlate the emotions of the collection with music, just as you would for a show.
