fashion reality careers
I don't know if I'm all that famous. When I first started my idea of what a career in fashion would look like is very different to the reality now.
thinking next energy
We are so excited for what's next. I think that's what I love most about it, the energy and the excitement that comes from that.
yoga home clothes
Virtually the second I get home, I change into my "home" clothes - yoga pants and a T-shirt.
book home trying
I'm a gastronome first and foremost. I have several bookshelves in my home full of cookbooks, foodie magazines and food writer books and I am always on the hunt for a great recipe or local foodie haunt to try.
girl interesting buzz
We spotted Beyoncé, January Jones, Rihanna and Carey Mulligan wearing the label [Karen Walker]. I was ecstatic, but I'm just as thrilled to see interesting girls wearing our product everywhere. It's quite a buzz.
beautiful hard-work garden
I loved the idea that people dressed up to go to the gardens. Our work always has a utility point of view at its heartbeat and then other things come around it, so it really allowed us to use denims and suedes and gauzes, and those sorts of hard-working fabrics - workwear fabrics - and then contrast them with crepe de chine, beautiful florals and big jewelry.
mirrors house leaving
Always take one last look in a full-length mirror before leaving the house.
yoga half hours
Always half an hour a day where it's just me and my yoga mat.
fashion real dna
Fashion is about having a point of view, a taste and a personality. For us we always felt we could apply our DNA really to anything but you have to do it if it's true to you, feels authentic. It has to be real.
fashion iphone knows
You know, an iPhone is fashion everything is fashion.
design barbie firsts
The first design I created was a circular skirt for my Barbie when I was 7.
real firsts made
The first item I designed for a real person was when I was about 10 and I made my first item of clothing for myself.
quirky different looks
What I like about eyewear is that it can work with a lot of different looks. You can wear it with a Balenciaga dress, or something that is straight and very quirky.
firsts communicate concepts
The overall concept comes first and then that informs the product, the shoot and how we communicate it. Everything comes back to the concept. It all gets thought about at the same time.
