From winning the Project Runway to celebrating your 10th-anniversary collection, what would you like to share about your journey?
I have always loved to create. I love the idea of transformation. I want people to transform themselves when they put on my clothes. This has been my goal for the last 11 years or so since I started my label. Did you meet the goals that you set for your brand ten years ago? I have had so many amazing moments over the years that I am proud of. I have been able to dress and work with some of the biggest stars in the world. I opened a beautiful flagship store in New York, collaborated with many brands, published two books, built a business that is now sold all over the world, and I got to help change the world’s perception on what is beautiful in fashion. I think so I have been able to meet the goals.
