The preppy look has gone global- every corner of the world interprets it in a different way.

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.

Fashion is about affordable luxury ... To succeed, designers need to be affordable, wearable, accessible, and aspirational.

The road to success is not easy to navigate, but with hard work, drive and passion, it's possible to achieve the American dream.

Victory is about recognizing all the work that went into achieving your dream.

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.

Other than a couple of moments in time, I always thought that, some way, I'm going to make it. I'm just going to make it. And I'm not going to give up. And I'm going to realize that dream. So, I never gave up. And I have realized the dream, and I enjoy every moment of every day.
