paris envy people
I envy the people who go to Paris the first time
clever smart shopping
Sephora's business is really smart and clever - I'm all for anything that gets people up and out and into the social experience of shopping.
dresses forget t-shirt
The best dresses are like t-shirts - you just put them on and forget about them.
punk grunge versions
Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.
sexy fashion clothes
I don't find clothes sexy at all. I find people sexy.
integrity creativity thinking
Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it.
tattoo teenager heart
I have a lot of tattoos. My first tattoo I had when I was a teenager was just a little heart. I am very friendly with a great artist, Scott Campbell, and I started going to him to get tattoos. I'm very spontaneous about what I get.
mom dad grandma
Yes, I always remember my dad's, mom's and my grandma's perfumes.
ebay computer knows
I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.
lunch care attention
The attention toward me is basically because of what we've built as a company. If we built a pile of crap then nobody would care what I ate for lunch.
creative design trying
When you design a dress you ask yourself, would woman like it or no. It's much more of a creative process, not a research or trying to make somethings that sells or appeals. I hope that it will appeal to somebody, but it isn't what drives me.
dream fashion long
I always wanted to be a fashion designer so I just have to remember that as long as I'm doing it I'm living the dream.
dream sky ideas
Staring up at the sky on a bright, sunny day makes me dream and gives me ideas.
better-place
To be useful to others and to be useful to myself is definitely a better place to be.
