school thinking color
I'm constantly thinking about design, shapes, patterns and colors, so I just want to be more of a blank canvas. But there is a comfort in knowing what you're going to wear, and that probably comes from Catholic school, where I wore a uniform for 10 years.
wanted
I wanted to do something not just commercial but also covetable,
clothes goal trying
My goal is: I'm not trying to be snobby, but my clothes are not for everyone, not for every Hollywood celebrity. There is a designer for everyone, and a celebrity for every designer.
powerful red lips
I love a red lip - it's such a powerful statement. It exudes confidence and makes for a bold look.
updates wonder tweet
I tweet myself and do all the Facebook updates. It started off with me wondering whether I was showing off and I was very careful about what I wrote.
design trying want
I'm fascinated by furniture design and interiors, and I want to try designing all that stuff.
wise fun crazy
Because you have very limited time and you have to be very judicious and wise about how you spend it. But otherwise, I've always been - ever since I was a kid, I've always been coming up with ideas. So I'm able to come up with crazy ideas twice for two collections! It's fun.
actors bollywood wonderful
Deepika is one of my absolute favourite Bollywood actors. It is wonderful to have someone of her stature wearing my brand
stuff modern-woman modern
A modern Woman is not necessarily...s omeone who just buys expensive stuff... ...a modern Woman is someone who buys intelligently.
beautiful jobs integrity
I truly believe that a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, but a beautiful woman with a brain is an absolutely lethal combination. Women of integrity, depth, sensuality and strength have always been my source of inspiration, the reason for what I do and how I got to where I am today. They are all my muse. If my quest, in what I do - to make women look and feel beautiful - reflects even a tiny fraction of my deep-rooted respect for them, and succeeds in celebrating these lives of strength and substance, then I will consider it a job well done.
moving thinking living-right
I just think the idea of moving away from the body and discovering sensuality by skimming the body, not tightening the body, seems rather new to me. Especially in this world where we're living right now, where the idea of giving freedom to women, especially in politics what's happening, it seemed so appealing to me, so that was the starting point.
real feelings satisfaction
There's such a feeling of satisfaction when something you imagined turned into something real.
reality stupidity degradation
It saddens me to see the reality-television shows that are getting so much fanfare that are a celebration of stupidity and the degradation of women. And those women are consistently wearing too short, too tight dresses. I hope the trend of aging gracefully returns.
hard-work opportunity thinking
I'm not a believer of luck. I think opportunity and hard work becomes luck.
