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.
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.
thinking clothes interesting
People ask why I do monochromatic clothes; the reason is because I'm thinking in proportion to the world. In this room, your head is going to look so much more interesting if it's on a monochromatic column. Whereas I think people think of outfits and gets a little too fussy, a little too detailed. I'm always thinking of the line of a person standing with their head in a room and I always feel like a stalk, or a stem, or a pillar is nicer. I always think of everything architecturally.
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.
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 style
Fashion can be cruel. Style is a gift to others.
fashion book sandwiches
Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.
