I'm very good at delegating - people work much better when they have a real sense of responsibility. But at the same time, I don't like surprises. I don't pore over every shoot, but I do like to be aware at all times of what's going on.
Fashion goes in only one direction -forward- and I am a firm believer in thinking that way too.
Gisele Bundchen is a bit of a jock. 1 of my fave shoots is her playing football
In the end I do respond to my own instincts. Sometimes they're successful, and obviously sometimes they're not. But you have to, I think, remain true to what you believe in.
Go get a job. Whether it’s working as a designer or working in a restaurant and then doing your own thing in your own time, it’s a reality of life. In the end it’s going to be helpful to you and so many others.
Even if I'm completely unsure, I'll pretend I know exactly what I'm talking about and make a decision.
If one comes across sometimes as being cold or brusque its simply because I'm striving for the best.
Just be true to yourself, and listen as much as one is able to to other people whose opinions you respect and look up to but in the end it has to come from you. You can’t really worry too much by looking to the left and the right about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.
The Trump Card is appealing, grounded, smart, and has a sense of humor. Ivanka Trump proves that believing in yourself and working hard never go out of style.
It's the mishaps that make it fun, and brings you the surprise.
In today's world you have to interact. You can't be some difficult, shy person who is not able to look somebody in the face; you have to present yourself. You have to know how to talk about your vision, your focus and what you believe in.
You can’t really worry too much…about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.
You either know fashion or you don't.
There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous.
