beauty bee clothes design dress ease good somebody wear
Bee is really able to wear the clothes. She has a very good sense of the design and feel of the clothes. She has a neo-classical beauty and is very charismatic. Personality is so important - when you dress somebody for a big party, it is good to feel that the person has an ease and naturalness with what she is wearing.
people design way
The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence.
thinking design modern
With couture, you feel obligated to design something modern each season, but with Theyskens Theory, I don't question anything. I'm thinking of what I'd like to wear.
guy niche designer
As a designer, I'm not a guy that can be put in a niche.
design intuition intellectual
My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.
vintage inspired designer
I am not a designer that buys vintage to be inspired.
love work
Everything I do, I do out of instinct. I love to show shapes. I like to work around the waist, the hips.
absolutely costume few historical image movies saw visited
When I was young, watching historical movies made me feel absolutely sublime. But the first few times I visited costume museums, I was really disappointed because it was not at the level I saw in movies. It was not the level of the image I'd imagined.
class clothes love super type wear
Today there are more things you can wear for the same occasions. I still like this idea of the perfect suit, and I always love tailoring, but today you can have more things for this type of situation, clothes that have class and that are mixable, and that are super well cut.
affected build connected contact direct observing physically
Personally, I am not so affected by my environment. What I build in the creative process is not necessarily connected to what I am physically in contact with. I am always observing everything, but it will not necessarily have a direct impact on what I do.
ease good somebody
Personality is so important - when you dress somebody for a big party, it is good to feel that the person has an ease and naturalness with what she is wearing.
allow considered cost great loved
My mother loved fashion and always had a great aesthetic. But she also considered the cost of it, with the kids, that it wasn't something to allow herself.
clothes dress time work
It's interesting for me because in my work, a lot of times, I like to scrutinize the clothes and think what's going to make them look dated, and I do the same with vintage. In vintage, you want something unique and different, but at the same time, something that doesn't make you look like you dress like a grandpa.
dressing morning pleasure point takes view
If you are a girl dressing up in the morning thinking about the whole world having a point of view on what you are wearing, it takes the pleasure out of getting dressed.
