new-york yang west-coast
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.
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.
done stories vogue
Is she going to, or has she done it? Has it happened? What is the story here?
girl wanted ready
Ready-to-wear is what I've wanted to do since the beginning. ... I'm not a girl who spends my life in a ballgown
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.
girl lunch cocktails
I'm not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.
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.
adore creating modern people self truly
I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes, where a woman's personality and sense of self are revealed. I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
amazed bridal designer given horrible lifelong move time
It is horrible to say, but 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.
early family late luxury morning since sleeping woke
I'm a late riser by my family's standards. Sleeping is a luxury because since I was young, I woke up very early to go ice-skating. So I'm really not a morning girl.
