I believe that fashion is the ultimate form if self expression therefore it really depends on my mood.
A fashion icon to me is somebody who has, the first person who struck you and introduced you to the world of fashion, and that person is my mom.
'Fashion Star' has been an incredible platform to show America the amount of work and discussion that goes into each garment you see in a store.
As for style, there is something about the way musicians dress-they seem to be able to create their own world within their fashion alone.
I'm hugely inspired by music. I am a big listener of 60's and 70's classic rock. And i really just love the overall freedom of that time, of the late 60's and 70's. I love that you had so many different ways of expressing yourself, fashion was really one of them, the idea of clashing didn't exist, and people were using clothes as an opportunity to express who they were. That is inspiring to me - you could mix textiles, fabrics, you were 100% who you were, and that's where my main inspiration comes from.
Fashion to me is very emotional. It's my strongest form of self-expression, and I love wearing a piece of clothing where I feel like I can run around at any moment and dance in it. So you know, I guess when I'm designing, I want the clothes to feel celebratory and feel very light and fun and feel like you could move seamlessly.
