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.
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.
business life lucky privilege raise successful travel work
I was lucky enough to have it all. To be successful in business, to have children, to raise them on my own, and to travel and live my life. It was a lot of work, but it's a privilege to have been able to do it.
breaking compensate good life loved requires somehow truth
I'm very good at breaking up with people. Very good. It requires a lot of skill, but what you do is you tell them the truth of why you are breaking up with them, and after that, you somehow compensate with other things. If you have loved someone, I think that somehow they should always be a part of your life. I really do.
love-is water life-is
Water is life is love is life is water.
love-life appreciate age
The older you get, the more you should learn to love life and appreciate the beauty that comes with age.
goal life-is your-best-friend
My goal in life is to be your best friend when you open your closet
life friendship true-friend
When a woman becomes her own best friend life is easier.
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.
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.
The Chinese consumer is everybody. It's very simple.
afford bit
I was lucky because I got so successful so early, and when you get successful early, then you can afford to be a little bit humble.
