creative design trying
When you design a dress you ask yourself, would woman like it or no. It's much more of a creative process, not a research or trying to make somethings that sells or appeals. I hope that it will appeal to somebody, but it isn't what drives me.
design effort creative
Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be.
fashion hands creative
As far back as I can remember, I had an interest in fashion. I used to go to sleepaway camp, and they'd provide a list of things that you had to bring, and I always wanted to be a bit more creative than the list allowed. Like, if they required chinos, I wanted to hand-paint them.
fashion creative six-months
When you see a fashion show, you see those seven minutes of what was six months of tedious work of, you know, going up an inch and down an inch, changing it from one shade of red to another shade of red. So it's the same as any creative process. The result is what we see, but the process is really labor intensive and work.
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.

The shapes are more angular, more aviator in feeling. A little bit larger and oversize, ... They're also doing wonderful combinations, mixing the acetates with metals, and wonderful colored lenses are bigger than ever again.
prepared students work
And when I see students now, I just don't think they are prepared to work so hard. It comes too easy.

Whoever moved those show dates up in New York should be executed.
against black edge lying pale pink pump shock sort
You know, the edge of black lying on pale pink, or a petal pink pump with a black jagged outline, or something like that, ... so there's a graphic, you know -- the sort of shock against pink or black against color.
american-designer creating great inspiring knowing particular terms type woman
Sofia is so active, and she made The Virgin Suicides, which I thought was great - all these things are inspiring to me, not in terms of creating a particular dress, but just in terms of knowing that there is this type of woman out there.

She's really nice, a teen queen, a fashion enthusiast. She wears everything she likes.
bottoms either fuller gathering narrow pants small soft sort tops
The pants and bottoms are fuller and, again, sort of soft with either gathering or tucks of some smocking details. The tops are pretty small -- narrow shoulders.

There is something technologically advanced about them, yet historical,
military small sort
Actually, there are a lot of different small accessories and they can all be sort of assembled on one belt. But (they're) very, very feminine. There's nothing military about them.
