Why are you excited to have a design being sold at Lord & Taylor?
Lord & Taylor is one of the leading retailers in fashion, housing many designers that I’ve looked up to during my career. It’s an honor to have my work be among those names, hanging in a store that I am not only going to be carried in, but love to shop in as well.
How does it feel to see a woman in this dress you designed?
It’s always amazing to see women wearing clothes I design. Especially if it evokes the emotions and confidence that it was intended to create.
How does it feel to be in the window on Fifth Avenue – a window that has launched almost all American designers?
I think it will be the most exhilarating feeling to be in the window on 5th Ave.! Every designer looks forward to that moment when his or her work is hanging in the highest display and I’m excited about it!
How would you style this dress?
The dress I designed has a high mandarin collar so mainly bracelets with some bling, a statement earring and a great clutch in a vibrant pop of color since it’s an all black look.
Where do you see Lord & Taylor customers wearing this dress?
This is definitely a party dress, chic cocktail dress that can also be layered to create comfort in the fall months. This girl is going out to be seen, at a charity event, fashion show or one of the many seasonal events.
