freak control-freak
I am a control freak.
vintage print
I love vintage and prints.
mother mother-daughter daughter
I make sure I carve out time to be with my daughter.
book reading sleep
Sometimes if I can't sleep and I am up in the night, I will start researching things - it could be an image I've seen, or a book I am reading.
mom grandmother years
One of my most sentimental items is my grandmother's engagement ring that my mom gave me a few years ago. It's a Victorian-style setting that's closed in the back, so it doesn't sparkle the way diamonds do now. I wear it as a pendant.
bridesmaids brides
Bridesmaids are never going to upstage the bride.
cannes-film-festival festivals glamorous
I always go to the Cannes Film Festival and it's just such a glamorous time.
looks civilized
I look much more civilized than I actually am.
wedding home hair
My wedding was at home, so I didn't really want to wear a veil in my house. Instead I wore a lot of diamond hair clips. They were brooches, actually, designed by Lorraine Schwartz.
wedding dresses tulle
I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours, but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.
daughter mother home
We don't leave home without my daughter's doll La-La. She looks like a bit of a rag, but India is obsessed with her.
active great incredible learnt reasonably submerged suits
Belize suits me because I'm active and I like diving. I learnt when I was 18, in Thailand, and I have dived in Vietnam, which wasn't great, the Red Sea, which was incredible and reasonably priced, and then the Maldives, which is like being submerged in an aquarium.
board capturing constantly creating designer essential itself lends moment mood obviously photograph references towards visual walking
Photography obviously lends itself so well towards fashion. It's capturing that moment and that inspiration, and as a designer you are constantly walking through the world assimilating those visual references you have and so being able to solidify that into a photograph and keep it on your mood board is essential to creating a collection.
amazing chance comfort creative direct excited familiar opportunity step time zone
What an amazing opportunity to do something like direct a movie and step out of your creative comfort zone and yet do something that is also so familiar at the same time. I was also just excited to have the chance to direct, which I may never get to do again.
