Top 3 trends for the current season?
This season I’m loving cargo chic. Over sized pockets, camo prints, and powdery palette of the light blues and neutrals to soften the look.
Biggest fashion faux pas that you wish people would stop doing?
Over sized hoop earrings. I think only person can wear hoops and really look good is Jennifer Lopez.
If you weren’t in your current job, what would you be doing?
I would not change anything in my life. In Nirvana.
I am currently working on my new abaya collection, will be launching SS17 soon.
