(1) How do you find the music you listen to?My friends and I share music constantly. I have them to thank for Peter Murphy and Gene Clark. They have me to thank for The Beatles and PJ Harvey. 

(2) What is your favorite way to enjoy music (live, alone, in the car, bath, work, etc.)? MUSIC: brought me to LA in the first place…  it inspires every new collection I design - in my studio, loud… Sunday mornings with coffee…spontaneous dance parties with my girlfriends…I LIVE for live shows and have seen most of my favorite bands and artists live… 

(3) What is it about the songs you’ve been listening to for years that resonates with you?  Discovering new music is like having a new lover… it consumes me… I’ll play my favorite new songs over and over until I’ve gotten my fix…

 As much as I love new music, there is a very special and permanent place in my deepest heart, in my CELLS for the soundtracks of my favorite childhood movies. You know that time when you are just falling in love for the first time and finding yourself, learning how to French kiss… these songs and ‘their’ movies hold such a place for me…
