Driven to design by what she refers to as the lack of glamour in the industry, Bar Or creates for the modern woman who is a fashion risk-taker, one who is confident and, perhaps, has a larger than life personality. ”

A brand can have huge hype but still only be a tiny business. ”

While my trips are most often focused on business, I always try to take some time to experience the local culture. ”

It's definitely an interesting question: 'Do you need more funding to start a luxury business?' That's something I want to think about a little bit more. ”

If someone is making a very expensive purchase decision, they typically have a lot of questions about the fit and about what to wear the item with. In some cases, they'll ask for additional images or want to contact the designer. ”

I worked as President of House of Waris for a year and a half, and Waris is one of my favorite people. He is not only a talented designer but also a warm and genuine person and a pleasure to work with. ”

It is always a pleasure to see what NYC, London, Paris and Milan have to offer. ”
