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.
support trying mecca
Sephora is a mecca for cosmetics, and it supports what I enjoy: You go into the store, and touch it, and try it, and love it. I've never bought anything on the Internet. I like experience.

bigger bit colored larger lenses mixing shapes wonderful
The shapes are more angular, more aviator in feeling. A little bit larger and oversize, ... They're also doing wonderful combinations, mixing the acetates with metals, and wonderful colored lenses are bigger than ever again.
prepared students work
And when I see students now, I just don't think they are prepared to work so hard. It comes too easy.
military small sort
Actually, there are a lot of different small accessories and they can all be sort of assembled on one belt. But (they're) very, very feminine. There's nothing military about them.
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.
