Why fashion design? 

Why breathe? 

I was born to do this,

designing fashion and working through everything that the process entails allows me to live my authentic truth

Fav day of the week and why? 

Mondays, it’s a fresh start and I know I have 5 full days ahead of me to get shit done!

favorite tracks on music playlists? 

Summer Rain by New Horizons, Eon by Musty, Pegasus Rising by Free Masons ...I like songs with a heavy crescendo 

If u could sit next to

any one person- dead or alive-

on a transAtlantic flight,

and have a willing conversationalist-

who would you choose,

& what one question WOULD you ask? 

My mother.

She passed away 22 years ago and we are long overdue for a good catch up and a hug. . . 

I would ask her if she is proud of me and my accomplishments . . .

Biggest fear? 

Fear of failing. 

Biggest dream? 

to win a CFDA award 

What makes you tick:

visually, sexually, emotionally? 

visually = color

sexully = control

emotionally = vulnerability

Coffee: “with cream or black”? 

with a splash of Almond milk to cut the edge 

Finish the sentence: “I love it when . . . “ 

I arrive somewhere a few minutes early

“I began to trust myself when . . . “ 

I stopped worrying what other people thought of me.

Teddy von Ranson’s forthcoming menswear collection will premier in the second half of 2019
