perfect world a-perfect-world
I am a perfect being in a perfect world.
comfort influential music-love
That was a time when I did love music, I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential, so immediately.
grandmother stable my-grandmother
I always say I lived my life with my grandmother. She was emotionally stable, and she was very encouraging to me.
dresses forget t-shirt
The best dresses are like t-shirts - you just put them on and forget about them.
team directors inspirational-team
I always say that I'm not the director, I'm part of the team.
punk grunge versions
Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.
fashion art thinking
Anyone who thinks designers don't talk to editors, and editors don't talk to stores doesn't know what's happening...It's called crossover, sampling all references in music, art and fashion.
fashion believe style
I don't believe in fashion dictatorship, and I find that anybody who follows the dictates of fashion is a bit lost. I'm excited by style, not so much by fashion.
awkward want looks
I love the gym, but I still want to look a bit awkward at it. I don't want to look too on top of it, you know?
missing kitchen tuna
Sometimes I miss hamburgers, I should say that. I miss the tuna pizzas at Mercer Kitchen.
quality needs louis-vuitton
The Louis Vuitton woman is more about a quality - a quality within some women that needs to come forward, to be noticed and recognised.
sexy fashion clothes
I don't find clothes sexy at all. I find people sexy.
fashion creative six-months
When you see a fashion show, you see those seven minutes of what was six months of tedious work of, you know, going up an inch and down an inch, changing it from one shade of red to another shade of red. So it's the same as any creative process. The result is what we see, but the process is really labor intensive and work.
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.
