I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to build some kind of lifestyle brand that was preppy and cool.

No one is an inventor in the fashion business. Designers recreate fashion.

Over the last 15 years we've developed our brand into a global brand and we wanted our giving to follow suit.

The possibilities are endless, so never be discouraged by a setback, no matter how big.

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.

Our look and image never change dramatically from one season to the next, so we need an edge.

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