How did you get involved with TOCCA?
They called me after I closed Lyell, and I was like “I just had a baby!” And then over the summer, they called a few times, and I thought about it, and I started in September. It was one girl that worked here that knew me, researched me, and thought I was a good match. Gordon, the owner of TOCCA, that started it in 1994, had turned the business into beauty. Before I relaunched the clothes, there was nothing.
Was it hard relaunching the clothing lines?
It was, but I feel like maybe for me personally, I had come out of a really intense business, that I hadn’t stopped for seven years, and then had a baby, and then I came right into this. So it was a big adjustment, but at the same time, it was just such a relief to have support, and just be creative without everything else. But the actual starting point was hard. I did the packaging, and the first lookbook; that was what I started with, which was pretty opposite to what they had. So I stripped everything back and did it. Once we got through that first established phase, it’s been on a roll.
