I used to sit in bed at night and flip through design-school catalogs. I found out that Parsons accepted a small number of high school juniors, so I applied my sophomore year and got in.

While at Parsons, I interned at Marc Jacobs, which was great. When I graduated, I went to work at J. Crew; that was also really great.

The thing about Parsons compared to the other schools is that it really teaches you how to be a designer, whereas some of the other schools teach you to sketch or teach you the technical skills. But the curriculum at Parsons when I was there was how do you put a collection together, as well as all the technical stuff. It's the best training.

I'm a great fan of Bloomingdale's, and I'm a very loyal alumni of Parsons. I think what they do, what they've done, is amazing. They've educated some of the best American designers.

I went to Parsons, and I interned with Ronen when I was at Parsons. We started our own company since then.

The sports apparel industry was dominated by the big shoe companies. But there was a void in apparel and I decided to fill it.

I was very sporty at school, and sport was probably the thing I was best at, but my real passion was for fashion.

I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.

I'm regularly speaking at London Business School and Harvard Business School. They're the next generation of leaders in the fashion industry.

I interned with Marc Jacobs in college, then worked at J. Crew. I learned a lot about how to fit clothes and what kinds of things sell and why.
