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

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 always say if I weren't a fashion designer, my other dream job is being a rock star!

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

There are many more important things in life than fashion. But fashion, to me, is part of pop culture. And I'm an art collector. I'm obsessed with art and pop culture. And I say that there is fame, fashion, art, music and entertainment, including celebrity, that really moves the needle in society.

I looked at my competitors and I thought that, "If they could do it, I could do it. And if, they are popular and doing well, I could compete with them."

I was looking at people like Jim Morrison and David Bowie and Mick Jagger and I thought, Ah! I want to look like them.
