Success isn't about the end result it's about what you learn along the way.

When brides ask me, What's the best advice you can give me on my wedding day? I always have the same answer: Be yourself. Someone's marrying you, they love you for who you are, and they don't want you to be someone else.

I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.

I love the focus and bravery of European designers, but I love the nonchalance and throwaway aspect of America that has made Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein two of the greatest icons. I try to bridge those two worlds in my work. The clothes may be couture on the runway but there's an attitude that's very street and that comes from America.

I've been designing since I was 8. I started sketching dresses I could wear when skating. I was always involved in all aspects of skating, not just the technique, the choreography, the music, but the visual aspects, too - what I should wear.
