design hard life relationship work
The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I'd say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.
designed women
I have always been attracted to clothes designed by women. Coco Chanel, Vionnet, Norma Kamali, Donna Karan. They have a little more - how do I put it? - understanding.
bit clothes design easy generally life pack
The way I design generally is very much travel-oriented because that is my life. That's why I make clothes that are so light and so easy to pack and a little bit seasonless.
design particular piece
I never like to think that I design for a particular person. I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be, and - to some degree - the woman I'm still a little piece of.
art perfect design
There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!
fashion important designer
Fashion Week is so important for designers.
design creative challenges
A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
fashion design pieces
I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be and to some degree, the woman I'm still a little piece of.
team favorite-day design
My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.
death fashion design
I design for the woman who loves being a woman.
I never knew what I wanted to do, but I knew the kind of woman I wanted to be.
against healthy image industry putting represent responsibility wall women
The fashion industry has a responsibility to represent a healthy image of women, but to start weighing them and putting them against a wall and making them feel like animals? No.
aspects behave freedom however worked
I used the aspects of being a woman to my advantage, but I worked for myself, not a big corporation, so I was lucky to have the freedom to behave however I liked.
The Chinese consumer is everybody. It's very simple.
