WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? I grew up in Israel and came to the States around seven years ago. I was spending some time traveling around the world and when I came to the US, I decided to stay.

WHEN DID YOU START NOTICING WHAT PEOPLE WERE WEARING? WHAT WAS THE FIRST PIECE OF CLOTHING YOU CREATED? I was always into fashion. My mom and family were always into fashion and I worked in clothing stores when I was younger.

I always wanted to create something for men because the selection for men wasn’t big anywhere. There are so many options for girls in stores all over the world but there aren’t many for guys. We don’t have nearly as many options.

Price was also an issue for me too. I wanted to make something fashionable that people could actually afford.

WHERE DOES YOUR INSPIRATION COME FROM? I’d say there’s a very New York style, and my clothes are very comfy.

HOW DID YOU TAKE YOUR LOVE OF CREATING CLOTHES AND MAKE IT YOUR PROFESSION? I started when I was around 10 years old. I remember sketching and trying to make some fashion happen for girls and guys. When I was 15, I made my first garment.
