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

Just because you work in the fashion industry, it doesn't mean you live your life in fashion.

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 don't have a life where it's galas, posh affairs. It's me, my dog and a sofa. And a TV.

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

I'm really a classicist at heart - with a bit of madness!

When people ask about inspirations, and you're like 'oh, it was a flower or a mountain or a pony', some people just think you're insane. I'm worried to come across that way.
