Behind Her Archive Pieces
“I’ve always worn and been inspired by vintage. I have a very large archive of pieces collected over the past 25 years, which hold a certain sensibility of 60s and 70s Americana, utilitarian uniform, and rock-and-roll.
I’m excited to share these pieces with Earth Day and circularity in mind, helping raise money for UNESCO and its sustainable development goals.”
On Personal Style
“Intuitively following your own style is more attractive to me than attending to fashion trends. I design my collection with the intent to give a woman the tools for developing her personal style with forever-relevant pieces.
There’s longevity to my clothes, which is why I feel particularly connected to Vestiaire Collective—I buy some of my archive pieces on the platform.”

Timeless Wardrobe Staples
“I’ll always have a vintage tuxedo shirt in my wardrobe (and will be introducing new ones). It’s a very iconic and personal piece for me—the tuxedo shirt was the first shirt I designed when I launched my label.
With the spirit of rock-and-roll, I’ve also embraced leopard, snake, and zebra. I’m not really into prints, but I love an animal print—particularly leopard. It’s a signature. A good leopard coat never goes out of style.
Other pieces I’ll keep in my wardrobe are a trench coat, a velvet blazer, and anything suede or leather. I’ll never give up a leather jacket—it only gets better with wear. ”
