I'm young and I have a lot of experience and I learn quickly.
I'd rather buy clothes than buy a bed.
My name is out there right now. I'm creative and innovative. I should capitalize on it.
I just think it's great to show a gown that's $8,000 and a shoe that's, like, $25 - but still look fabulous together.
I think that red polka red dress is just iconic.
The bows, the polka dots, the color, the playfulness - you don't have to over do it. You just have to be able to style it in the right way.
I even like when girls wear printed Minnie Mouse T-shirts with a cool ball gown skirt, or a ripped up pair of jeans - it's all about how you style it.
I think the "trick" is you have to really want to do it. You're embracing more of the world. Which is great. We're all in the world together, you know? And the models in the show who are "plus size," they're not in a special place, they're not wearing differently styled outfits. They're just beautiful girls who are in the show, like normal. Everything's normal. That's how it should be!
These kids are more savvy. They know what people are wearing instantly. It's brutal. We're the ones sending the dresses and we can barely keep up; these kids see it before we do. So we know they're plugged in. Now they can forget that for a few hours. Just go big with ideas! Experiment!
Our girl's going to Capri for fun. We've got an Italian island vibe.
I've been really into a light, bright playfulness that's been missing. I looked at these '60s and '70s photos of Jackie O. She went to Capri every summer, but she was always a little more playful, a little more colorful, than she was in 'normal' life. And it was exciting to see her a little bit "off duty." The colors are from awning stripe umbrellas, from a really clear ocean, and from ripe citrus.
When Gwyneth Paltrow wore a dress of ours, that was probably our number one best seller besides when the lovely Mrs. [Michelle] Obama wore our dress.
I think Zendaya [Maree Stoermer Coleman] moves product well. We love her! That pink suit she wore of mine sold very well.
When Oprah [Winfrey] wears something, it works out, too. But if someone's having "a moment," that always helps.
