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.
dots polka-dots polka
There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.
choices making-choices spirit
I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.
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.
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.
thought-provoking innovation process
Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.
comforting everyday world
I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.
jeans safe t-shirt
I like the sort of 'nothingness' of the jeans and the T-shirt. I feel that's about as close as I can get to the future because it seems like something so old that will always be, so I feel it's a safe bet for the future.
paris envy people
I envy the people who go to Paris the first time
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.
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.
ebay computer knows
I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.
