A true pioneer in sustainable textiles. 🌿
I loved reconnecting with Lawrence Serbin, founder of Hemp Traders. We've worked together for over 20 years!
Our Out of the Blue conversation explores hemp, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

A wedding gown's train creates a dramatic entrance. But what happens when it's time to dance?
That's where the artistry and engineering of a bustle come in.

Mike Brennan stopped making art for nearly 10 years after burnout and depression.
What brought him back was a simple daily creative practice: making, playing, experimenting.
Over time, he rediscovered his own voice.

A few years ago, five interviews about conscious design led me somewhere I wasn’t expecting.
I became fascinated by the moments that change people’s direction: The idea, encounter, or opportunity that seems to come out of nowhere.
That became Out of the Blue Into Reality.
I’m revisiting the original 21 interviews now and planning to continue the series.
If you’re a creator with an unexpected origin story, or know someone I should talk to, send me a message.

I bought a 100-pound bale of recycled cashmere.
Then came the sorting, washing, sun drying, color organizing, and the moment when a pile of old sweaters started looking like possibilities.

A new Creative Life conversation is live.
I sat down with Dana Dvorak to talk about intuition, animals, and the energy of color — and how these things have shaped both her work and the way she sees the world.
We also talk about creativity, connection, and the ways color can affect how we feel and respond.

Twenty years ago, in an interview about my work as an eco-fashion designer, I said: “What I’m truly interested in, and what is in my heart, is I want to make women look and feel beautiful.”
Over the years, I’ve heard that intention reflected back to me again and again by the women who wear my clothing.
It made me think about the quiet power of intention — and how the reason we create can become part of what we create.

Sweater Weather 🍂
I’ve been designing reincarnated cashmere for more than 20 years.
After losing everything I had in a Beverly Hills store fire last Christmas Eve, I recently pulled out what remains of my cashmere collection.
I’m ready to sell it—and start over.
