What was the first garment you ever made?
It started with me just draping fabric, three-dimensionally (my strength is in draping). I was working with this one piece of fabric which just sort of came alive with every fold and tuck — it was a matte jersey (viscose) from Italy. Good travel piece.
Name one thing in your collection that we won’t see in anyone else’s.
The way that the fabric is draped and the overall architectural feel of the collection.

I actually recently did a fundraising fashion show for Hope Returns, a charity that raises awareness and promotes actions toward ending human trafficking. So, I was able to practice my bow there. We raised $10,000!
