-: I really like making clothing
that I can see people wear
and that it makes them happy,
just like I'm happy to put on my clothing in the morning.
And specifically with my role,
I work with really creative artistic people
who are passionate
and really love what they do.
And I think that that energy and enthusiasm
and creativity is a really,
are really inspiring things to be around every day.
The biggest challenge is marrying that creativity
and sensitivity to the world
with the financial needs of a huge business and industry.
And my job is to be the mediator
and the go between our creative
and our business sides of what we do.
So it requires
an understanding of an artistic sensibility
and a creative drive
while also being very analytical
and familiar with the needs of the business
and then having the relationships
and ability to speak to both sides of that business
in order to come to
the right place at the end of the day.
But the challenges there can be
just different personalities,
there's always changes.
As I said, there's a lot of pressure from being a part
of a huge business that is a publicly traded company.
And so we have to take those realities
and marry them back to the creative
piece of the business.
