I decided if it was going to be a mistake to come to New York and try and make a career in fashion, then it was going to be my mistake... But the American dream is real. I'm living it.

There's such a feeling of satisfaction when something you imagined turned into something real.

I'm not a believer of luck. I think opportunity and hard work becomes luck.

I tweet myself and do all the Facebook updates. It started off with me wondering whether I was showing off and I was very careful about what I wrote.

I am not the kind of designer who is racing to the finish line, so while collaborations are important for our growth, each and every one has to be strategic and well-timed with what we have going on internally.

There is one universal truth: All women, all over the world, want to look beautiful. That is always the theme of my designs.

I wanted to do something not just commercial but also covetable.
