A classic, navy blue blazer is my staple. It's a look that can take you from office meetings to dinner out with friends or family.

I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.

I thought, if I went into business I'd be able to control my own destiny.

My rule of thumb is to strike a balance by sticking to the classics and playing with color, texture, and print to give them a modern update. On any given day, I keep it simple with jeans or chinos and a comfortable dress shirt.

Good sportsmanship means treating others with respect. I consider myself a pretty good sport.

My passion for music has always inspired my designs.

If I see someone wearing Hilfiger it makes me proud, but then I wonder what I could do to make the style more relevant for them next year?
