My Mom, My Muse: A Timeless Legacy of Style and Grace

Every boy in my elementary school had a crush on my mom. She was the talk of the school, and our car was the most requested for field trips. This wasn't just about beauty; it was about an effortless elegance that radiated from her. My mother, Peggy Bradford, was the most elegant, intelligent, and inspiring person in my life.

She taught me that true style is timeless. While everyone else followed trends, my mom was a visionary. She could make a simple paper bag look like a designer outfit and transform classic pieces into her own iconic looks, often with the unshakeable confidence of Jackie O. She was my first teacher, showing me how to play with colors and shapes, all while keeping it modest and effortlessly sexy at the same time.

The Foundation of My Creativity

People often ask me which collection was inspired by my mom. The answer is every single one. Her influence isn’t limited to one design or one product; it's the very foundation of my creative spirit. From the bold, unapologetic designs to the refined grace of my Pucci-inspired fabrics, every piece you see on this website is a whispered tribute to her.

She was more than just a style icon; she was my business partner and the only person who truly knew how to guide and protect me. She saw the world with a clarity that was a gift, helping me navigate life and business with her unwavering wisdom. When I lost her, I lost my compass, my confidant, and the source of so much inspiration.

A Legend in Her Own Right

My mom was a magnet for people, always attracting admirers with her kindness and warmth. She was the most gracious person in any room, finding a friend everywhere we went. I could always tell as soon as we were in public that she would have people drawn to her, and she never disappointed. She was a legend in every sense of the word.

To the woman who was my first and greatest inspiration, a true myth in her own right, and the one who curated my style and my soul: Here's to you, Peggy Bradford. Your legacy lives on in every custom product I create. Thank you for everything.
