Service is a prerequisite for anything relating to luxury. That makes it (shopping) sensual and pleasurable.
makeup artist color
To me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It's like makeup. It's the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.
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.
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.
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.

I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.

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.
fashion people ends
