makeup artist color
To me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It's like makeup. It's the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.
minutes
When you love something, every day goes by in 10 minutes
luxury shopping sensual
Service is a prerequisite for anything relating to luxury. That makes it (shopping) sensual and pleasurable.
mother hippie flawless
My mother was extremely controlled, sort of flawless. And I always tend to be a bit more hippie.
dance wedding artist
When I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.
play roles pageantry
Even the most understated ceremony involves a certain respect for ritual and pageantry. No one plays more of a significant role than the bride's attendants.
daughter mother respect
As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.
journey
I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.
design skating dresses
I've been designing since I was 8. I started sketching dresses I could wear when skating. I was always involved in all aspects of skating, not just the technique, the choreography, the music, but the visual aspects, too - what I should wear.
wedding black dresses
I love a black wedding dress.
ideas people levels
Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.
inspirational fashion life-changing
Don't be afraid to take time to learn. It's good to work for other people. I worked for others for 20 years. They paid me to learn.
fashion people focus
I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
attitude views design
Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.
