I kind of took inspiration from my time in Paris. That was kind of the real time when I discovered European fashion. It's stuck with me since University.

Sometimes belts are flattering, and it helps with proportions.

We all enjoy being comfy, but my comfy - you know, I love a nice, cozy cashmere sweater and spandex, sure.

A lot of the time, if I have samples, I can't tailor a sample. Or, I might have just bought something and I don't have time to go to the tailor, there are ways to take thin, skinny belts and layer them, and do quick little fixes.

I've always had the mentality of: work hard, get to bed early, focus - and let your work speak for itself.

I love to mix colors. For me, I don't have a rule, like "you can't wear silver and gold." You can mix it.

I always have a vision when I go in, I always know what I want to do.
