country sides different
I particularly like to travel for work because you see a completely different side of the country you're visiting.
character likes culture
I must point out - Sarah Jessica Parker is not a diva - she's one of these pop culture characters that everybody likes.
dream people hats
Every day, I like to make hats that make people dream.
car shapes looks
I love the shape of cars. They are very inspiring as modern pieces of machinery. I can't drive, but I do like the look of them.
sparkle
Everybody loves things that sparkle.
thinking play challenges
I think and hope I have changed the way we look at hats. They are no longer symbols of conformity but highly individual acts of rebellion. I am constantly challenging the perception of what a hat should be and what role it should play.
ferrari collaboration campaigns
MAC allowed me to have complete freedom on the collaborations—from the shades, the look-and-feel, to the campaign visuals. I have to admit that the visual aspect of the collection excites me most. For designers, we care about the photographs much more than a Ferrari.
magic different royalty
Royalty is completely different than celebrity. Royalty has a magic all its own.
fashion believe feel-good
I believe in a democratic approach to fashion: if you feel good, then great. You may not look good, but it's not the problem.
names ems specialists
I do say I'm a specialist in divas. Name a diva - I've worked with 'em.
people hats type
Certainly, people like Gaga have introduced a new type of hat-wearing.
dollars feels observers
It thrills observers and makes the wearer feel a million dollars.
believe hats i-believe
I believe that I am a hat designer, not a milliner.
hats illusion gaga
Gaga is an entertainer, so a hat for her is part of the illusion of entertaining.
