GOWS: What did you like about designing this collection?
A: It is very fashion forward. I enjoyed bringing some of my experience from the couture area to bridal.
GOWS: Where did you draw inspiration from this season?

GOWS: What trends are you looking forward to seeing on brides?
A: The bell sleeve! I love it, and can't wait to see it on real brides.

GOWS: Who and what inspires you as a designer?
A: To me, the essence of a woman is always inspiring. How she wants to be herself on her wedding day, feel unique and beautiful. That is always my starting point. I'm inspired in making a difference when I design, and I strive for that.
