fashion heart want
Fashion isn't a necessity. It pulls at your heart. It's a whim. You don't need it. You want it.
insecure years shapes
For so many years, I felt so insecure, so inferior, and I still have those moments, but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.
fashion interesting people
Fashion is just something money can buy. People who are stylish are free and have no fear in staying true to themselves. Plus, style is infinitely more interesting.
nice europe two
It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.
europe shows developing
We're developing things, but I don't know what we'll go with for the show, so I don't like to talk about it.
nice giving trying
Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice.
fashion interesting appreciate
I still appreciate individuality. Style is much more interesting than fashion, really.
jobs artist shoes
I'm a designer. I make clothes and bags and shoes. I have a job that involves making creative choices, but I'm not a divinely inspired human being like an artist!
travel mean people
I mean, I'd love to have a private jet - I know people who fly by private jet all the time... I've hitched a ride a few times and it is not overrated at all; it's a great way to travel!
thought-provoking innovation process
Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.
sexy thinking keys
I think scent is sensual. I guess evoking a mood or a spirit is key, and I think with the women's fragrances we have evoked different types, moods or sensibilities of a woman - whether it's Daisy with the sweetness and the innocence or Lola which is more provocative, sexy and sultry.
fashion believe clothes
I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing.
fashion shoes bags
I used to buy good shoes, now I buy good bags. They make me feel more confident.
fashion
Happy, happy fashion. There is not much more to it than that.
