If you don't have outside money, the road is 20 times as long.
right before the final runway show taped for (her Bravo style series) Project Runway , and I loved having a quiet minute with Michael.
I think there's a couture thing going with Chloe that is not at all what we've seen before.
I'm definitely curious. I love pop culture. I'm glued to it. I can watch garbage TV, but then I can also watch great theater.
The minute it gets to a runway, you're tempted to do some high jinks. I don't want to show something I won't produce. I want people to wear the clothes I show.
I can sketch up a storm, and I'm very involved in how clothes are constructed, but I have a short attention span.
North Americans as a whole need to embrace having clothes altered to their body. I hear it all the time: why do the Europeans always look so good? They have a relationship with their tailor and spend the time and money to make their clothes look their best.
Put on a trench, you're suddenly Audrey Hepburn walking along the Seine.
Travel is the ultimate inspiration.
In early days, I showed everything I made. There was no such thing as editing a collection. In the '80s, it got to the point where we'd have shows with a hundred looks. You'd want to order a pizza before it was over!
I am the oldest young designer in New York City.
We had a very tough time with this, and if you're looking for a job, definitely give me a call, I'd love to hear from you.
