Pierre Cardin and Charles Hollis Jones certainly influenced and inspired me. I love their innovation and how their modernity has remained timeless.

 

Being able to work with a successful businesswoman like Diane taught me some very valuable lessons. Two of the most important, being able to trust my instincts and to never compromise a brand’s image.

 

In fashion, there are always trends in color and patterns and mood. I believe that they way we dress ourselves is a strong indication of the way we dress our

home.

 

We are expanding our home accessory collection by bringing in new items that, like the rest of the collection, are functional pieces of art. A centerpiece vase that doubles as a bookend, an exquisitely luxurious large bowl, a glam orous ice bucket, and even a little something for storing your rings and jewels.

 

Yes, that will eventually happen in the future. I love the idea of bringing in metals or woods.

 

I really can’t pick just one, but some of my favorites are Chanel, Pierre Cardin, Tom Ford, Michael Kors, and Yves Saint Laurent. They’ve all defined a style and become so iconic that their names have become adjectives.

 

I love Ojai, Palm Springs and Muir Woods, and just about anywhere on a road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway.

 

My Pandora is currently set to Hall & Oates, Chet Faker, and any playlist from Hôtel Costes.
