Describe the person you’re designing for.
I design with mothers and daughters in mind. You know something is right when they both think it's cool.
How are you preparing for fashion week?
In preparation for fashion week my studio is an endless stream of patterns, cutting, sewing, and fitting.
What was the inspiration for your fall/winter 2012 collection?
The genesis for the fall collection is a system of proportions inspired by rational simplicity.
What are the fabrics, shapes, and color palettes of your fall/winter 2012 collection?
The palette is dark and brooding. Prints are achieved with a discharge medium that bleaches away color. Shapes are based on a ratio of length and width, and are tailored towards the masculine.
What are your fashion week vices?
There is little time for vices come fashion week! Or in the month leading up to it.
What is the first thing you’re going to do once your show is over?
After the show is over I'm spending a day at the spa, and then will sleep for another day.
