I've always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a woman's outfit.

You make sexiness strong by balancing it out: something familiar with something unfamiliar, something masculine with something feminine, something streamlined with something rococo. It's a Yin and Yang. Women are made of layers, your mood shifts, no one is neither one extreme nor the other.

My mom was a model. She had me at 20, so she was a young mother.

The biggest lesson that I've learned is that fashion is this tightrope where you have to be consistent but inconsistent. You need the connective thread but at the same time you need a sense of surprise.

When I was a kid, I was trendier. I'd wear anything. I was in love beads and platforms...

Travel is the ultimate inspiration.

Women are much more comfortable making their own style rules now. They want pieces that will make their busy lives easier.
