I loved how he described “An LP girl is an individual & not afraid to express herself- She has great style and isn’t afraid to mix it up! She’s not so obvious and in your face with blatant logos and labels (although she does love a little luxe!),.More of understated casual chic I would say-The best of uptown and downtown!” Thats totally me!

I like the part where he saw this petite lady head to toe in leopard print and sign up to take a class with her at F.l.T to make hats. That is random!

I like the part about how he started the Dylan line. It was interesting to hear the how a success had started in the beginning. I also like the typical LP girl part. I am a little surprised that the interview did not include a question about the current economic downturn. I am curious that how the big economic atmosphere has affect the whole fashion industry, and LP, in particular.

“Understated casual chic” this is the true essence of the bags and the girls who wear them… no labels just pure luxurious sumptious leather and style

My fave parts of the interview -

1 – overall tone. What a down to earth fun and nice guy….and smart! Med school? Architecture? We’re talking not easy to get in. The guy’s got a good head and is so articulate, yet so not a snob.

2 – LOVE that he hates vegetation in the martini!

3 – LOVE LOVE the sirena/samantha reference! HILARIOUS. And, who didn’t love Elizabeth Montgomery’s ‘do?

4- Love how he describes the LP girl – not logo crazy, confident, likes a bit of luxe and loves to mix it up.

I want to meet this guy and thank him – I LOVE MY DYLAN TOTE!

I love the way he ended up with Linea Pelle from many different designing focused areas, such as the interior design, the hats and the greeting card company. It seems like from the very beginning he wanted to be creative and I hope I could have such a varied career path!

I really enjoyed the transition of how he began in med school and somehow ended up designing accessories! I hear stories like that often and its inspiring, especially since I find myself at a crossroads of what I want to do career-wise. Andrew seems to have such an easy-going nature, I enjoyed his description of an LP girl…and love his hair, adorable!

I love to know how designers “fell into” designing. I think great design comes from atypical places–and varied backgrounds.

And references to the Rose Bowl make me sigh for my hometown…. Thanks for the in depth interview.
