sports technology men
I was first drawn to active wear because I enjoy working out, and it's very important in this day in age. I really felt women were getting the tail end of the design in active wear; not getting the technology or design we deserved. It was reserved for men. We were getting the leftover work from the sports design houses.
people
People work better when they are afforded to be themselves
jobs clothes design
I'm not offended or embarrassed by the fact that I design clothes for women to wear. So when I meet women who love my clothes, it's a really good, straightforward thing. It makes me feel like I'm doing my job right.
fashion technology thinking
I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion, because I don't think that many designers get to do that.
art luxury creative
Success financially is a measure of creative success, it is the same in all arts.
fashion animal years
The consumption of animals - whether you're wearing them or eating them - is extraordinarily damaging to the planet. There are over a billion animals killed a year for food, half of which don't even get eaten. And there's over 50 million animals killed just for fashion.
country strong horse
People think I'm strong, but actually I wanted to crawl away. I thought, I'm going to live in the country with my horse and I'll get a nine-to-five; I don't need this.
fall kids balance
I didn't want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that 'other' side of my life, who didn't really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.
sexy attitude black
A little black dress is something to rely on. To fill you with confidence and ease. To have an attitude that is pure and effortless, yet sexy and classy.
beautiful needs hopefully
The main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer
fashion together earth
I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.
people easy wanted
I never wanted to make it too easy for people to sum me up.
dream people house
It's incredibly important that if you have the dream of having your own house, you don't pretend to be something you're not. Ultimately, it's unsustainable and people will see through. You have to work; you can't expect your dreams to be handed to you on a plate.
dream photography fashion
When you think of fashion photography, it's a dream. It's like we all want to be those women. We want to wear those dresses.
