I was not a very popular kid in high school, and I had this idea that the way that I dressed would change how liked I was. It was that kind of Pygmalion story. I think, ultimately that's probably why I became interested in fashion, its transformative power, and how it can change your identity.

I think women want to feel beautiful. They want to feel seductive. I also try to think about items that can be worn in different ways so they can be worn more than once. If you're going to buy a $2,000 jacket, you are going to want to wear it over and over.

My mother has a very chic sense of style, but she also has high expectations for her clothes to be functional and practical.

It's important not to take all this fashion stuff too seriously, and I kind of love the idea of cheesiness.
