Every other fashion brand out there - including those that I call 'competitors' - are run by mostly old white men, and the customer knows it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'll be honest; I'm a student of fashion. I say that because I just wear what I feel. I'm not led by name brands and things like that.
I'm just like so many women - I was frustrated, I had these white pants that I had spent a lot of money on, and you get home and you think, 'What am I really supposed to wear under this?' So it was a frustrated consumer moment.
My mom and both of my grandmothers have always been into fashion, so it's been around us our whole lives.
There's never a new fashion but it's old.
I don't have any problems with what these guys wear because they got their own style and their own originality. That's the way it's supposed to be, man.
I respect men and women who age and are proud and don't lose energy. I think fashion forgot those people.
The most fascinating part is how fashion just attracts all these social rejects, if you will, from around the world, encourages individuality. They're the people who make the industry tick.
For someone who comes from my business background, getting fashion people aligned around certain things can be a challenge. In a way, the industry is so forward-looking. And yet, sometimes people in fashion are not open to change.
I think women are usually a little bit nervous about wearing white denim.
Fashion is mysterious, as a rule. Why are blue jeans a classic? You just hit on something that happens to be timeless and right.
