Laugh my friend, for laughter ignites a fire within the pit of your belly and awakens your being.
beautiful mother fashion
I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.
dna decision trying
We try to make earth-friendly decisions whenever we can, as it's part of our brand DNA.
real looks matter
It's not about what it looks like in the studio or on the runway. It's what it looks like on a real person that matters.
thinking animal people
There's nothing fashionable about a dead animal that has been cruelly killed just because some people think it looks cool to wear.
beautiful animal skins
Depending on the season, between 20 and 30 percent of my collections contain some sort of eco or sustainable element, whether it's a beautiful organic fabric or a natural dye. And obviously I don't use animal skins or fur of any kind.
attitude philosophy thinking
I think personal style starts from within because it´s a philosophy and an attitude. If you´re honest and true to yourself, you will have the best sense of personal style.

I´m a real believer that just doing a little something is a lot better than doing a lot of nothing.
animal shoes use
The really great thing about my shop is that there's not one dead animal in it. ... Manolo's got a load of fabric shoes as well! We use plastic, fabric, rubber- anything but leather. I almost feel like I've been put here to show everyone that it's unnecessary.
life-changing simple differences
Everyone can do simple things to make a difference, and every little bit really does count.
hardest incredibly kids meet sad
I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words.
