I'm A Fan Of People That Have

I Like Romance, I Like Glamour And I Like Realism. I Think That's A Great Combination.

My Father Was An Artist. When Life Was Harder And He Couldn't Get Jobs, He Painted Houses, But He Was Artistic. When I Went To See His Work, It Was Special. Somewhere Along The Line, I Felt I Was Special. I Didn't Know Why.

I Never Went To Fashion School. I Didn't Know What A Designer Was. I Knew I Had Something, But I Didn't Know What It Was. And It Could Just Have Easily Been Nothing.

I Have Always Been Inspired By The Dream Of America-families In The Country, Weathered Trucks And Farmhouses; Sailing Off The Coast Of Maine; Following Dirt Roads In An Old Wood-paneled Station Wagon; A Convertible Filled With Young College Kids Sporting Crew Cuts And Sweatshirts And Frayed Sneakers.

I Have Always Done What I Love Myself. My Philosophy Was That I Never Had Focus Groups. I Did What I Wear.
