fashion fashion-business
In this [fashion] business you're living in the future a lot of the time.
creating inspire new-work
I'm just in the business of creating; creating new work inspires you to create new work. It's kind of funny.
dresses body
Body-con dresses have never been something I've been into.
years salad week
Well there are a lot of things I like to eat but at this time of year I'm finding I'm making fig and chèvre salad at least once a week and that's a combo that's hard to beat.
careers
There are a lot of things about my career now that are as I imagined, hoped for and worked towards.
fashion reality careers
I don't know if I'm all that famous. When I first started my idea of what a career in fashion would look like is very different to the reality now.
thinking next energy
We are so excited for what's next. I think that's what I love most about it, the energy and the excitement that comes from that.
yoga home clothes
Virtually the second I get home, I change into my "home" clothes - yoga pants and a T-shirt.
book home trying
I'm a gastronome first and foremost. I have several bookshelves in my home full of cookbooks, foodie magazines and food writer books and I am always on the hunt for a great recipe or local foodie haunt to try.
girl interesting buzz
We spotted Beyoncé, January Jones, Rihanna and Carey Mulligan wearing the label [Karen Walker]. I was ecstatic, but I'm just as thrilled to see interesting girls wearing our product everywhere. It's quite a buzz.
beautiful hard-work garden
I loved the idea that people dressed up to go to the gardens. Our work always has a utility point of view at its heartbeat and then other things come around it, so it really allowed us to use denims and suedes and gauzes, and those sorts of hard-working fabrics - workwear fabrics - and then contrast them with crepe de chine, beautiful florals and big jewelry.
mirrors house leaving
Always take one last look in a full-length mirror before leaving the house.
yoga half hours
Always half an hour a day where it's just me and my yoga mat.
fashion real dna
Fashion is about having a point of view, a taste and a personality. For us we always felt we could apply our DNA really to anything but you have to do it if it's true to you, feels authentic. It has to be real.
