There are still places to go, there are still dinners, there are still parties, and you can still get dressed up. That's part of having fun in fashion.
Shoes are a big part of your look. I think that if your outfit isn't really something special, then fun footwear is a great way to jazz it up and make your ensemble more interesting.
You can wear whatever, be whatever, do whatever you want.
I came from a different world from other designers because I already had such a strong fan base that was interested in fashion. You have to give the little divas something.
I'm going to have some fabulous nights out with champagne.
I think that red polka red dress is just iconic.
I Google everyone I meet and I look up designers.
The bows, the polka dots, the color, the playfulness - you don't have to over do it. You just have to be able to style it in the right way.
I want to have my own line and collection.
I hate the terminology of "costume" because my clothes are not costumes at all. I think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but I wouldn't say they're costumes, I'd say they're more couture.
I even like when girls wear printed Minnie Mouse T-shirts with a cool ball gown skirt, or a ripped up pair of jeans - it's all about how you style it.
I just think it's great to show a gown that's $8,000 and a shoe that's, like, $25-but still look fabulous together.
The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.
I am confident and I work so hard to be confident. If I wasn't talented, then I wouldn't be as confident.
