If You Feel Good, You Stand Up

I Am Definitely A Person Who Supports Mothers. I Believe In Having Children. Maternity Leave And All That Stuff Is Super Important To Me. In Terms Of One-on-one With Employees, Being A Mom Helps Me Ground My Roots To Humanity. When Someone Is Going Through A Personal Issue, I Can Keep It On A Human Level.

At The End Of The Day, I Want To Create Collections That, Although I Am Inspired By Very Creative Women, I Want My Customer To Walk Away With A Silhouette That She Doesn't Even Know What Collection It Comes From. That It Just Lasts In Her Wardrobe And Makes Her Feel Strong And Confident And Hopefully Happy.

I Have Always Admired The Way Women Put Outfits Together.

I'm Always Trying To Think Of Ways To Provide Jobs And Money Through What I'm Already Doing. Charity Can Be Overwhelming, And Some People Think You Have To Be Bill Gates To Really Make A Difference Momentarily Or You Have To Be Mother Theresa And Give Up Western Life, But You Can Just Incorporate It Into Your Everyday Life.

My First Job Was In Retail At The Age Of 14, And I Have Worked In The Industry Ever Since.
