opportunity way accessories
Any opportunity to adorn oneself is human, and accessories are an easy way to do it.
makeup color finishing
To me, beauty and makeup and color is like the finishing touch on everything.
choices making-choices spirit
I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.
white black pieces
I'm useless at staring at a piece of white paper. But if you put a piece of white paper with a black line on it in front of me, I'll say no that black line should be red and it should go this way or that way.
insecure years shapes
For so many years, I felt so insecure, so inferior, and I still have those moments, but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.
inspiration museums creative
Sometimes, you just have to clear your head and get out to see other things. It is very important to be nourished. I love to go to museums and galleries, I like to see theatre, film, dance - anything creative. It doesn't promise you inspiration, but it nourishes your creative soul, and that's good.
art believe world
I really do believe that art changes the landscape of the world.
makeup accessories finishing
Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.
educational clothes museums
But the customer is the final, final filter. What survives the whole process is what people wear. I'm not interested in making clothes that end up in some dusty museum.
people challenges buttons
It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.
jeans safe t-shirt
I like the sort of 'nothingness' of the jeans and the T-shirt. I feel that's about as close as I can get to the future because it seems like something so old that will always be, so I feel it's a safe bet for the future.
integrity creativity thinking
Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it.
thinking dots polka
I don't think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot.
fashion world life-is
Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.
