If it weren't for rock'n'roll, I wouldn't be a designer

I love creating bold, cinematic moments with my runway shows, so the idea of being a film director has always been appealing to me.

I think preppy stands for optimism, confidence, energy and authenticity.

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

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.

We like to believe our fashion is growing.

But I think, if you're in the spotlight, people are going to say bad things, and that's just the way it is.
