When someone asks about a career in fashion, I say start at the bottom. If you want to start a business, you have to know it from the ground up.

Direct to consumer really gives you control of your business completely.

The customer moved on long before the industry reacted to what she wanted. She doesn't want to buy things four months in advance, she wants to buy something today and wear it tomorrow. She cares less about seasons and collections and really what she's looking for is price, quality, and convenience.

In the past there were two things that motivated me then: independence, and passion about what I was doing. And those are still the things that motivate me now.

That's one thing that's really important to me.
