I've never said I'm a fashion designer.

Remember someone is going to be out, so don’t make it you.

If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.

I believe that it's very important to get to know people with whom you can have a substantive dialogue about design and its development. In addition, read everything about fashion that you can get your hands on. A palpable point of view is what makes a designer, so you need to be confident about yours.

I love Modern Family but it's among a handful of favorite shows.

Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.

Exude unconditional confidence.
