past artist giving
I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules.
hard-work passion work-harder
When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.
hate phones people
I hate phones. All businesses are personal businesses, and I always try my best to get back to people, but sometimes the barrage of calls is so enormous that if I just answered calls I would do nothing else.
unique past design
I wanted to breathe new life into the timeless trend of past, present and future. These unique designs celebrate the bride and groom's passage through their new life together.
taste arbiter
I see myself as an arbiter of taste.
fashion design studios
I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.
ends
In the end, it’s not about failure, it’s about how much you love what you do.
funny girl beach
The funny thing is that I'm the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who's traveled with me. Normally, I'm in so many layers, I look like Lawrence of Arabia!
fashion real years
I'm only waiting for Lindsay Lohan's fashion collection to come out. Ten years from now, there may be no real designers left.
fashion outsiders bridal
I was a total fashion insider who became an outsider when I did bridal.
wedding fashion taste
There was no relationship between a wedding dress and fashion. There was no good taste, either. I realized that I could make an impression in terms of changing and readdressing the whole industry of bridal.
challenges balance hard
It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.
begins breathe catch evening hot means news turn
My evening really begins when I take a long, hot bath. I light a candle, and I turn on the news and try to catch up. It's when I can breathe from the day to the night, and that means a lot to me.
boot costs design love people
I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.
