One of the reasons I wanted to collaborate with Target is because I felt that together we could create a collection that would inspire - one that is cool and chic, but still very accessible.

I have always had a relationship with clothes.

There is a secret hippie within me.

I started in college as a business major and finally transferred to home economics and studied making clothes.

My mother was a seamstress, so making clothes was not something you would willingly go into.

I try to always have flowers in the house. I have a florist in Chinatown, and they deliver orchids every two weeks. I like living with living things.

Since an early age, I've been intrigued by the idea of design evolution.
