mother daughter cancer
With over 3 million women battling breast cancer today, everywhere you turn there is a mother, daughter, sister, or friend who has been affected by breast cancer.
girl bars looks
If a girl comes to me first for a prom or a bar mitzvah and she likes the way she looks and her boyfriend likes the way she looks, she'll come back.
labels customers
My customer isn't wrapped up in labels and money.
girl sexy thinking
I'm usually the sparkle in a closet full of conservative clothes. Either that or my customer has a closet full of my clothes and a few conservative suits from Calvin Klein. I think you've got to give a girl what's missing from her closet. If something jazzy, tacky or sexy is what's missing, I provide it.
heart love-is disease
Love is a disease of the heartin the end, there is no treatment curable and it might just kill you.
clothes design body
I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.
dream color drawing
Making clothes involves what I like...color, pattern, shape and movement...I like the everyday process...the people, the pressure, the surprise of seeing the work come alive walking and dancing around on strangers. Like red lipstick on the mouth, my products wake up and brighten and bring the wearer to life...drawing attention to her beauty and specialness...her moods and movements...her dreams and fantasies.
hard-times uplifting-in-hard-times hard
Hard times always lead to something great.
fashion cutting feel-better
I never wanted to join fashion industry or being another Donna or another Dianne. I made clothes that I wanted to wear. I would cut, I would sew and I would wear, and it made me to feel better.
fashion looks
In the 60′s there was a look. In the 70′s there was a look, and in the 80′s. Now, it's a free-for-all.
beautiful cancer indulge-yourself
Keep your sunny side up, keep yourself beautiful, and indulge yourself!
fashion fun having-fun
Always have fun with fashion. Dress to entertain yourself.
real garbage speed
Real success is being totally indulgent about your own trip. You put your blinders on about the garbage and go full speed ahead.
girl fashion boys
Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked at all times.
