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.

The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'

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.

I like to write and draw everything with sharpies. I even got one with my own name on it!

My friends always joke that I run on batteries.

I was in fashion school, my brother has a law background, and my sister-in-law had worked in production, but none of us had a proper fashion business education.

I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.

I’m not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it’s on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context.

If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.
