fit great since staying
The great thing about having a pool in L.A. is that I can use it year-round. And since I've always been an athlete, staying fit is very important.
boot buying costs design love people
Let's be realistic, how many people are buying a $2,000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.
coast fits shoot west work york
New York for me is about work. If L.A. were to become a West Coast version of that, I'd shoot myself. The climate, the lifestyle - it really fits as the yin to my New York yang.
way ends results
Success isn't about the end result; it's about what you learn along the way.
fashion artist clothes
A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.
disappointment successful mind
I never thought I'd be successful. It seems in my own mind that in everything I've undertaken I've never quite made the mark. But I've always been able to put disappointments aside. Success isn't about the end result; it's about what you learn along the way.
fashion people focus
I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
fashion night challenges
Fashion offers no greater challenge than finding what works for night without looking like you are wearing a costume.
attitude views design
Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.
wedding black dresses
I love a black wedding dress.
inspirational fashion life-changing
Don't be afraid to take time to learn. It's good to work for other people. I worked for others for 20 years. They paid me to learn.
ideas people levels
Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.
design skating dresses
I've been designing since I was 8. I started sketching dresses I could wear when skating. I was always involved in all aspects of skating, not just the technique, the choreography, the music, but the visual aspects, too - what I should wear.
dance wedding artist
When I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.
