There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.
fashion people elements
One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.
mistake steps
Even mistakes can get you one step further.
giving-up life-changing believe
What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.
fashion mean icons
Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them.
makeup color finishing
To me, beauty and makeup and color is like the finishing touch on everything.
makeup accessories finishing
Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.
educational clothes museums
But the customer is the final, final filter. What survives the whole process is what people wear. I'm not interested in making clothes that end up in some dusty museum.
fashion world life-is
Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.
white black pieces
I'm useless at staring at a piece of white paper. But if you put a piece of white paper with a black line on it in front of me, I'll say no that black line should be red and it should go this way or that way.
opportunity way accessories
Any opportunity to adorn oneself is human, and accessories are an easy way to do it.
choices making-choices spirit
I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.
fashion desire needs
We don't need fashion to survive, we just desire it so much.
beautiful accepted attractive
It's the things that aren't accepted as conventionally beautiful that I find more attractive.
