fashion people ends
People get very trapped where they are. When they hear 'fashion' they get intimidated, particularly at the upper end because it's so elitist.
want way heavy
I always see where I didn't do things the right way. I only see the heavy lifting. That's a bit of my wisdom, if you want to call it that.
motivational falling-in-love heart
The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart's attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.
athlete years important
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.
clothes red carpet
They never ask the celebrities why they don't wear their own clothes on the red carpet.
wedding book creativity
I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives, their creativity.
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.
echoes lines eras
The intricate engraving, fine lines, beading and milgrain accents echo an era defined by elaborate embellishments.
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.
