Trying too hard to follow every trend. You want to look fashionable and put-together, not like you hit every sale rack this season.

I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.

Women were wearing the men's button-downs so I added men's touches into women's shirts. They're basically the same - just sexier. They're reshaped to the female body.

Consumers around the world always want something unexpected and exciting, and that's what drives me. I love the challenge of reinterpreting my designs in new ways each season to keep the "prep look" modern and fresh.

When travelling, dress as comfortably as possible and don't have expectations of everything going perfectly.

The Memorial Dedication was a momentous occasion

I currently live in the Plaza in New York and I love it - all that history, all those interesting stories.
