I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of fantastic people, from royalty to rock stars. I've also been known to be a bit of a daredevil, so I've tried to explore extreme travel and adventure - scuba-diving in an arctic glacier and camping in the Himalayas. ”

I always think clothing is like a scrapbook: you remember all the good memories and the past times. ”

I've always wanted to do something in the food and beverage world. Part of my MO is to go into unchartered territory. I enjoy a challenge. ”

That's my style - to mix a lot of print and pattern and put it all together. ”

When I was in art school, I worried that being a painter seemed like it could be an elusive dream, and fashion seemed so much more secure. ”

I think that each season we, as an industry, evolve more and more in such a great way, and I'm really excited about it. We're able to put fashion into the hands of the consumer and eyes of the consumer, and I just think that there's no filter anymore; you just put it out there. There's an instant commentary. I think it's so interesting. ”

I wake up like I'm shot out of a cannon. ”

I've taken a lot of risks through the years, but I always followed my instincts and always explored new opportunities. The biggest reward has been having an idea and being able to make it a reality. My passions always lead the way - travel and adventure, fitness, art, and home. ”

I think for love to work you have to be with someone who you want to talk to before going to bed at night. ”

There's always an excuse to celebrate someone you love. ”
