"I've made my own clothes since I was four, when I got a Holly Hobbie sewing machine," says Øverland sipping coffee. "But I studied business because my parents thought that making clothes wasn't really something you could make a career of. During my last year, a teacher said 'This isn't your passion, why don't you follow your passion?' and that's when I began studying design."
"At the end of the day, I'm my own customer," she now says. "I know what's too low and what feels ok. I think my designs are for all ages. Sure, older women might not want the shorter skirt, so you make it a little longer. I think most women like a hint of rock V roll. And I'm never too out there with skulls and tricks like that; it's still glamorous and covered. My clothes are worn by successful, happy women, and obviously a lot of socialite girls.""I am so busy with the business part of everything, that it's hard to find time to actually design. So I work at night. I get ideas all the time, that's not the problem; the problem is more to keep them from coming. They just pop up, then I go to my team and say 'Let's do it like this and like that, but we drape it this way'."See the full content of this document
