Don't give your power away to anybody. If you find something to do that you truly love, you'll be successful.

I can't design anything unless I'm excited by it, meaning I have an urge to wear it.

I realize I never stand out in a room unless I'm feeling balanced, centered and happy. It sounds really corny but it's very, very true.

I always keep a woman's body in mind, accentuating her best features.

As far as things I avoid, I always avoid following trends just because they're trends.

There's nothing wrong with looking like a woman and going in the workplace and doing everything a man can do but looking 1,000 percent like a lady.

At the end of the day, I want to create collections that, although I am inspired by very creative women, I want my customer to walk away with a silhouette that she doesn't even know what collection it comes from. That it just lasts in her wardrobe and makes her feel strong and confident and hopefully happy.
