I couldn't figure out what to wear under my clothes. The body shapers were too thick at the time.

Don't let what you don't know scare you, because it can become your greatest asset.

Perseverance is the key to starting a successful business.

I think my story says that, when women are given the chance and the opportunity, that we can achieve a lot. We deliver.

What I most identify with is effortless fashion, looking as if someone's not put a lot of effort into their look.

I'd never worked in fashion or retail. I just needed an undergarment that didn't exist.

When I was growing up, my dad would encourage my brother and I to fail. We would be sitting at the dinner table and he would ask, 'So what did you guys fail at this week?' If we didn't have something to contribute, he would be disappointed. When I did fail at something, he'd high-five me. What I didn't realize at the time was that he was completely reframing my definition of failure at a young age. To me, failure means not trying; failure isn't the outcome. If I have to look at myself in the mirror and say, 'I didn't try that because I was scared,' that is failure.
