I get my inspiration from young stylish girls I see all over my travels.

I really get inspired by stylish girls around the world that I see on the street. Colors, patterns, throughout my travels, whatever catches my eye.

Sometimes belts are flattering, and it helps with proportions.

Of course I love leather, and I love stingray. So combining the two and adding those gold elements - I always love a great gold accessory.

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

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 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.
