CultureMap: At what point did you decide that you wanted to pursue a career as a fashion designer? Vernon Bruce Hoeksema: I kind of fell into it actually.

I've always had an interest in design. I began studying architecture in college and switched my degree to business administration. I was recruited by a modeling agency which later led me to Italy.

I modeled for a few years in Europe and then I switched over to the business and design side of the fashion industry. That's when I began my career at Valentino. After leaving Valentino in , I launched my own luxury brand in VBH: It was amazing. Valentino is one of the great masters, so it was definitely a great education. What makes Valentino so great is his ability to make elegance and sexy coexist without being vulgar or unsophisticated.

His use of colors and materials taught me a great deal. The first piece I designed was a handbag called the Manila Envelope , which is our iconic evening clutch. When I designed it, I wanted to create something that is timeless with a modern edge. VBH: When creating leather goods, the design process always begins with a sketch. We own our own factory in Florence, Italy. So, I go to the factory with the designs and explain them to the model maker and production begins from that point forward. I will even go into the factory and cut and work on the first samples myself.

I am able to go into the factory and produce a bag on my own, which is not very typical of designers. When I design, I always have the reality of knowing what can and cannot be done and how the materials interact with each other. VBH: Inspiration for me is a difficult question because I believe the basis of inspirations is all of your life experiences.
