Design the life you want to live.

My first job was in retail at the age of 14, and I have worked in the industry ever since.

I have known that I wanted to be a designer since I was 8 years old.

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

I always have one foot in the street, so I know not everyone wants to dress like the women they see in music videos.

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.

Everyone should work; it's good for the soul.
