Good sportsmanship goes beyond the game; it starts with respect.

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

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

Always stay focused. Always give and try your best.

One of the most important things to me is to make things real, not have models who are perfectly groomed or clothes that are too perfect. It all has to have a twist because that's how people live.

The preppy lifestyle has gone global. We feel that our business has grown so well because preppy travels so well. It's all-American classic.

American style is about confidence, independence, diversity and free expression.
