What advice do you have for new entrepreneurs, especially designers?
At the beginning, the most important thing is to have a super strong point of view and to stick to it and then don’t run out of money, meaning don’t spend it all in the first two seasons because continuity is an important thing. A lot of the sellers really look at how you perform throughout time. You really have to deliver the collections in time, and the quality of what you deliver in the stores is as important as the beauty of your fashion shows. So I think the more you play a balance then the more of a possibility you have going forward with your brand and being picked up by an investor.
