Do you still do any actual sewing with the machine in your studio?
"This is my personal office-slash-studio. We have a real office in Atwater, so I use this space to play around with things unrelated to work. Lately, I've been making collages and, to be honest, I haven't touched that machine in a year! It's nice to play around at home with projects that are unrelated to fashion — but the machine always lurks over me, wanting to be used. I'm sort of cheating on it."

That flight suit is pretty far-out, what's its history?
"It's a Vena Cava sample based on a vintage flight suit I found at Squaresville. That's one of my favorite places to shop; I've been going there since I was a mod in the '90s!"
