How did you get into fashion: I started in retail in college and went on to internal creative/merchandising. Later, I was an intern for Ford models, updating the girls' books I thought I wanted to come up with concepts for these images, tell these stories and build these characters. So I started taking pictures of new faces. I never actually assisted fashion editors in the beginning, I just taught myself how to communicate through dress and how to make pictures collaborating with photographers. It has been and still is a tremendous and constant learning process.
