People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.

I was very influenced by movies; I was very influenced by a world that had a sense of dream.

It's the kind of clothes that mothers and daughters can wear, in terms of concept... It's not about age. It's about taste, and it's about lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything.

A lot of hard work is hidden behind nice things.

I don't design clothes, I design dreams.

I never said to myself, 'I'm going to be the greatest.' I just wanted to do my own thing.
