wedding black dresses
I love a black wedding dress.
daughter mother respect
As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.
luxury shopping sensual
Service is a prerequisite for anything relating to luxury. That makes it (shopping) sensual and pleasurable.
style culture architecture
I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.
frustration glam my-own
I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.
sacrifice athletic skating
It takes tremendous will to compete in any athletic endeavor, so it meant going to bed early and getting my homework done in advance. I had to sacrifice things, like a social life, to be a skater at 15. But I loved skating so much that it was worth everything to me.
high-heels suits right-now
I am not the sort of woman who would wear high heels with a bathing suit. Let's get that straight right now.
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.
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.
ends
In the end, it’s not about failure, it’s about how much you love what you do.
infected
My mother is the reason I'm in fashion. She worshiped it. Unfortunately, she infected me.
