I'm not going to say that I'm perfect. I do have fashion crises.
business designers embellish tendency
There's a tendency for designers to embellish the size of their business. I never lie.
good
You wouldn't know it but I'm no good at... cooking. My chef does that.
changed favourites
There isn't a book that has changed me, but I have favourites such as 'Pride and Prejudice' which I often re-read.

Some of them are matte jersey, some of them are chiffon mixed with lace that gives the impression that they are very, very transparent but very, very light.

designing love shirts wear white
I love white shirts because they feel like a security blanket. You can wear them with anything. It's the person and the way that they wear it that makes it different. I have been designing white shirts forever, but I don't get tired of it.
In general, fashion is challenging. Everything from clothes to fragrances.
