sensual approach
My approach has always been rather sensual.
dresses easy wells
It is not easy to dress well.
needs looks fortune
I am convinced that you don't need to spend a fortune to look like a million.
fashion strong may
The apparent pointlessness of fashion may be just what makes it so strong as a zeitgeist sensor. Even I, a designer, do not know why a certain proportion feels dated or why another one feels exciting at a given moment. I leave that to the cultural historians and theorists.
fashion patterns sometimes
I sometimes feel that a pattern is almost a fashion statement in itself.
fashion clouds dizzy
The '90s were extremely diverse, almost like a laboratory of the new century. There was much experimenting around, in politics, economics, gender and family structures, and also in fashion. There was a cloud of possibilities which kept us all dizzy.
able language
The market is like a language, and you have to be able to understand what they're saying.
giving trying feels
I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing.
ends
In the end, you can' t talk to everyone.
cutting hands brushes
If you cut a painter's hands off, he'd still feel the urge to pick up a brush.
challenges surprise life-is
Life is full of challenges and surprises.
japan differences glasses
One glass of water doesn't equal another. One may just appease the thirst, the other you may enjoy thoroughly. In Japan, people know about this difference.
fantasy
I have a lot of fantasy.
children looks whole-family
Even as a child, I told my whole family how to improve their looks.
