My mission was that I wanted to see people on the street that I don't know wearing my clothes. That excites me.

I wear mostly black Main Line or T… But the other day, the sun was shining so I wore blue jeans. It caused so much excitement in the office! People were literally coming up from the floor below and peering behind my desk saying we hear you’re wearing blue jeans and we have to have a look

Designing a product and understanding how it filters through into the market and into the rest of the company is very important to me.

All my closest friends are the ones I made while in college or who knew me growing up. They keep me grounded, and I adore that about them.

Go with your instinct and your gut. It sounds cliché, but never give up and just keep on. If you really believe in it, you have to just dive in and go for it.

My friends always joke that I run on batteries.

I don't think fashion week will go back to what it used to be because people are realising that the industry is completely changing. It's not just in Bryant Park any more, people are figuring out who their audience is, where they want to show, they aren't really playing by the rules. It's not so much about these editors, these buyers.

Ive always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag.

I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.

Time passes faster and faster, but with every project I always want to find the next challenge and the next challenge is just as exciting as the previous one.

Take people's advice and guidance in the beginning, but always follow your instincts first

I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.

The things that you can't really foresee and that kind of surprise you, and a lot of times they are bad, but other times, they bring something different and new to the table.
