I always knew I wanted to make my own way; I never wanted to be dependent on my father.

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.

My business savvy it’s instinct. Everything I do is just really my intuition, and every time I go against my intuition, it’s a mistake. Even though I may sit down and analyze and intellectualize something on paper, if I go against my gut feeling, it’s wrong.

My daughter is my passion and my life.

I wear Sweet Revenge, the legging boots, a lot particularly in the winter.

I just can't see myself as a trophy wife. I can't imagine not having my own life.

You never know. Down the road you can do a lot of product categories. But I think you really have to build your core first and for people to know you and respect you for that.
