Karina Carpenter Jean in Tobacco

I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track. I design from instinct. It’s the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut. Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity.

Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good. Age is something only in your head or a stereotype. Age means nothing when you are passionate about something. Fashion is made to become unfashionable.
