"Snow White" has always been one of my favorite stories. I was inspired by this modern day Snow White—she is still lovely as ever but ready to be the hero in this story. She's a true Charlotte Ronson girl... independent, confident and sweet
What's your favorite fairy-tale?
I'm really a big child deep down so I like them all!

I'm really proud of all of the collaborations I have worked on. It's hard to choose, as each one has been special and unique in its own way. Our current collaborations are a beauty collection with Sephora, I Heart Ronson for JCPenney, Shoshanna Made With Love bikinis, and a handbag collection with Artisan House.

It reaches such a broader customer and the JCPenney team is so great to work with. They believe in what we are trying to create and support the creativity behind the brand.
**Why is accessible fashion so important? **
Fashion is a way for people to express themselves. When you feel good about what you're wearing, you feel confident and beautiful and that should be accessible to everyone.

Growing up as a twin, my mother always dressed Samantha and I alike, so when I was a teenager It was so important for me to find my individual style. I was definitely girly but still had a tomboy side.
**You started your line as a college student—what was your go-to outfit back then? **
I wore no makeup, my hair was really long and it was a little darker, and my go-to was light blue denim jeans perfectly worn in with the teeny holes here and there.
