added again clothes cut decoration dimension flat otherwise top work
I really think about the clothes and the cut of the clothes, so we try to work the decoration into the seams. We've added borders, piping and again more top stitching -- things that give dimension to otherwise flat fabrics.
american-designer creating great inspiring knowing particular terms type woman
Sofia is so active, and she made The Virgin Suicides, which I thought was great - all these things are inspiring to me, not in terms of creating a particular dress, but just in terms of knowing that there is this type of woman out there.
advanced
There is something technologically advanced about them, yet historical,
dots polka-dots polka
There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.
mistake steps
Even mistakes can get you one step further.
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.
choices making-choices spirit
I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.

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.

rain thinking snow
I think journalists have the right to their opinions but I think their opinions should be based on history and what they see, not what they feel, how long they've been waiting or whether it's raining or it's snowing or whatever.
