"I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do."

"When I decided to launch my first knitwear line, it was because I saw a void in the basics category. The editors were always looking for cool, fashion-forward tees and sweaters. So that's where I started."
