fashion people focus
I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
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.
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.
women important littles
It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.
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.
fashion clothes lasts
Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
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.
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.
clothes red carpet
They never ask the celebrities why they don't wear their own clothes on the red carpet.
