fashion style
Fashion can be cruel. Style is a gift to others.
style care aphrodisiac
The coolest thing is when you don’t care about being cool anymore. Indifference is the greatest aphrodisiac - that’s what really sums up style for me.
cracks
Sometimes the whole thing cracks me up, it's so absurd,
limited planned producing
It's not like I planned on producing it - but I would like it if someone wanted to do a limited edition,
figure
This is like CSI work; you get to go back and try to figure out what happened.
bit fitted instead sharper soft
Instead of soft and drape-y, it is a little bit sharper and fitted to the back,
fields learn
I can't think of too many other fields where you can learn all of this on the job.
fashion brilliant
I don't even know what's brilliant in fashion anymore. There are too many voices.
thinking people human-nature
I think forums are great. It's a weird thing to overhear a conversation about yourself. But, the bottom line is that these people are really interested; they get the image and they get very opinionated and it turns into squabbles. You know that's human nature, that's life.
thinking people feelings
You reach a saturation point where people resent having to share you more with people who they think are not as connected and so they end up with a feeling of resentment.
listening vogue cried
I almost cried the other day listening to ‘Vogue’ by Madonna.
queens hair years
I am a middle-aged opera queen in loafers that makes out I am a 16 year old death metal skater... It's all fake! My hair is fake, my body is fake and my teeth are kind of fake
fashion independent thinking
I would really think twice about being a fashion designer if I was young right now, especially being an independent fashion designer the way I started it.
fashion book sandwiches
Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.
