If You Want To Play It Safe,

My Greatest Peace Is At The Ocean, Which Was Part Of My Decision To Move Out Of Manhattan. A Real Treat Is A Trip To The Beach. One Of My Favorites Is Capri, And I Love Mexico, But No Matter Where It Is, It's Really Difficult To Be In A Bad Mood When You're Sitting On The Sand, Listening To The Ocean.

If Anything Happens To Me, I Hope That I Would've Raised My Children In A Way That They Know How To Take Care Of Themselves. I Want Them To Know How To Make Themselves Happy. It's Important To Work In A Field That You Absolutely Love So That Even When Problems Arise, You Love What You Do.

Choose Something That You're Passionate About. So For Me, That's Creating Jobs For Women Who Don't Have A Voice. I Would Like To Be Their Voice Until They're Strong Enough And On Their Feet To Have Their Own And Really Be Heard. The Way That I Can Do That Is Not Necessarily By Hand-outs, Because My Hand-outs Wouldn't Be Great Enough To Really Affect Change. It's By Providing Jobs.

My First Job Was In Retail At The Age Of 14, And I Have Worked In The Industry Ever Since.

At The End Of The Day, I Want To Create Collections That, Although I Am Inspired By Very Creative Women, I Want My Customer To Walk Away With A Silhouette That She Doesn't Even Know What Collection It Comes From. That It Just Lasts In Her Wardrobe And Makes Her Feel Strong And Confident And Hopefully Happy.
