daughter mother respect
As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.
minutes
When you love something, every day goes by in 10 minutes
luxury shopping sensual
Service is a prerequisite for anything relating to luxury. That makes it (shopping) sensual and pleasurable.
makeup artist color
To me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It's like makeup. It's the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.
beautiful desire looks
A bride should look at {everything} she possibly can...just so she can experiment and see what makes her really feel beautiful or glamorous or classical or whatever she desires to be on that particular day.
journey
I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.
exercise years looks
It's a remarkable exercise to sit and look at your own work over the years.
latin struggle thinking
I was struggling to find a way to make evening clothes more deconstructed. I like to think that I translated the Latin concept in a more modern way. I don't think that I was that literal.
artist clothes creating
I work with structure, but I go outside the box and give it my own spin. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes - where a woman's personality and sense of style are realized.
design dresses gowns
My closet is organized by tops, pants, and outerwear, but not a lot of dresses. Gowns are in another room because I don't often dress formally, even though I design gowns. Like most designers, I have a uniform, and mine is a legging.
design sanctuary bedroom
My bedroom is my sanctuary. It's like a refuge, and it's where I do a fair amount of designing - at least conceptually, if not literally.
dream fashion moving
I was stigmatized by being a bridal designer for a long time. I am amazed I have been able to move beyond it. I had really all but given up trying, but I did it because it was my lifelong dream.
girl fashion breathing
I was the girl who nobody thought would ever get married. I was going to be a fashion nun the rest of my life. There are generations of them, those fashion nuns, living, eating, breathing clothes.
school mirrors dancer
Figure skating has been a great influence for me. I took dance at the School of American Ballet, which helped my own skating. And whether you are a skater or a dancer, without sounding narcissistic, it is all about looking in the mirror.
