Interview

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE JOURNEY?
Italy! I love the way Italians live. Beauty is a way of life for them and everything is like a postcard...the food.the fashion...the people.

WHAT INSPIRES YOUR FASHION SENSE?
Good design that functions, especially furniture design and architecture. When you see things that fit and they function, that's a good design. I especially like childrens clothing made from Italy and France--the rich colors, sweet details like etched buttons and contrast stitching. I find my biggest inspiration from vintage children's clothing.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOOK?
The Madeleine books.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FILM FOR FASHION?
Bonjour Triestesse with Jean Seberg.

WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES YOU MOST ADMIRE IN A WOMAN?
Kindness. Grace. Vitality.

WHO WEARS YOUR CLOTHES?
Women of all ages, who want to wear clothes that can last season to season. Style is important without sacrificing comfort.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO RELAX?
Walk. Every walk is a little adventure. When you walk you notice life is revealed in colors, people, and design. You see stories unfold right in front of your eyes. Moments happen.

WHAT IS YOUR TENET?
I believe that clothes and fashion have a specific role in building one's self confidence. I believe that if you find something that fits well and flatters your body, the feeling you get from the outward in is powerful. That is what inspires me everytime I think about how beautiful that person will feel when she wears my clothes.
