It's all possible and I'm living proof.

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 never went to fashion school. I didn't know what a designer was. I knew I had something, but I didn't know what it was. And it could just have easily been nothing.

I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim.

I have always been inspired by the dream of America-families in the country, weathered trucks and farmhouses; sailing off the coast of Maine; following dirt roads in an old wood-paneled station wagon; a convertible filled with young college kids sporting crew cuts and sweatshirts and frayed sneakers.

Black is not as good as Purple.

Love the fun of clothes, not the status of fashion.

Fashion is a function of lifestyle, and style a function of quality, integrity and timelessness.

I believe in style, not fashion.
