How does your brand aesthetic play a role in your everyday life?
"I've always dressed in worn-out clothes and still do — distressed jeans and flannels with holes. I spend my day listening to bandit jams, such as Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, the Dead ... you get the point. I can't remember the last time I took a blow dryer to my hair. It needs to be a mess, but messy-neat, of course! Every time I get off the plane in Texas, or I haven't seen my mom in awhile, she always says, ‘I'm going to clean you up like a bandit.’ Every piece I design goes along with this lifestyle."
