journey
I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.
exercise years looks
It's a remarkable exercise to sit and look at your own work over the years.
latin struggle thinking
I was struggling to find a way to make evening clothes more deconstructed. I like to think that I translated the Latin concept in a more modern way. I don't think that I was that literal.
girl fashion breathing
I was the girl who nobody thought would ever get married. I was going to be a fashion nun the rest of my life. There are generations of them, those fashion nuns, living, eating, breathing clothes.
wedding opportunity gowns
When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.
girl fashion journey
I love sportswear in my own weird way. Fashion is such a personal journey for me. I'm much more of a girl that's a T-shirt, legging, layering kind of thing, and outerwear.
feet design dancer
The way a dancer can bring the crowd to its feet with a drawn-out, well-executed pirouette is the excitement I wanted to capture with this design.
women important littles
It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.
style culture architecture
I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.
kids want wells
I don't live through my kids. But I do know what will happen in life, and I just want them well prepared.
frustration glam my-own
I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.
fashion clothes lasts
Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
sacrifice athletic skating
It takes tremendous will to compete in any athletic endeavor, so it meant going to bed early and getting my homework done in advance. I had to sacrifice things, like a social life, to be a skater at 15. But I loved skating so much that it was worth everything to me.
high-heels suits right-now
I am not the sort of woman who would wear high heels with a bathing suit. Let's get that straight right now.
