Tell us about your new clothing collection--what prompted you to take this next step, a change from your bag and jewelry collections?
I started sewing black silk aprons for the artists in my studio to wear over their clothes while working. I loved how they looked so much it inspired me to make more pieces which turned into a full blown line of clothing. We also have a new handbag collection that is in store right now.

How are you pieces different from what is already out there now?
The clothing is all handmade by our in-house seamstress in New York City. The clothing is really about simplicity and quality--each piece has the idea of versatility and layering in mind. The fabrics are luxurious but easy to wear... silk, taffeta and linen for spring.

What are your biggest inspirations when designing your lines?
I'm inspired by my environment around me in New York. There is endless inspiration here. I always keep two things in mind when I am designing, creating pieces that are timeless and achieving the highest level of quality.

Who are some of your favorite artists and musicians?
John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Patti Smith.
