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

There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.

I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.

If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.

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

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.

I've always said I'm not the kind of designer who likes to lock himself away in a studio and let the rest of the company deal with it. I work very closely with everyone on the team.

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.

Everyone always asks me who my muse is, or who's the girl I have in mind, which is such a hard question for me to answer because I feel like it's a sensibility that varies for each individual.

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.

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.

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

I don't care how small or big they are, insects freak me out.

When you focus on the consumer, the consumer responds.
