I grew up with a fashion-obsessed mother and an older sister, so there was a lot of fashion in my house. The first thing I remember owning was a Pierre Cardin jumpsuit when I was 9 or 10; of course I didn't actually buy it, but I fell in love with it.

I'm very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I'm all about being streamlined - less is more.

I have seen everything possible covered in studs and grommets. Also, what I call angry shoes: those platforms with the multiple buckles and studs. I think the polished girl is back.

It's empowering for women to have some tricks up their sleeve to help them look their best.

My nightmare of nightmares is being overdressed for a casual event - I've done it! You have to have a real sense of what you want to communicate.

From time to time, you may see a girl wearing her black opaque tights as pants. They are, in fact, not.
