want way heavy
I always see where I didn't do things the right way. I only see the heavy lifting. That's a bit of my wisdom, if you want to call it that.
high-heels suits right-now
I am not the sort of woman who would wear high heels with a bathing suit. Let's get that straight right now.
style culture architecture
I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.
kids want wells
I don't live through my kids. But I do know what will happen in life, and I just want them well prepared.
frustration glam my-own
I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.
thinking people risk
We got a lot of letters of people who didn't like them, like my own family who thought they were unnecessary and unpleasant and taking advantage of women in a sad situation - I never saw that. And I think that sometimes, you have to take a risk.
done stories vogue
Is she going to, or has she done it? Has it happened? What is the story here?
unique past design
I wanted to breathe new life into the timeless trend of past, present and future. These unique designs celebrate the bride and groom's passage through their new life together.
hate phones people
I hate phones. All businesses are personal businesses, and I always try my best to get back to people, but sometimes the barrage of calls is so enormous that if I just answered calls I would do nothing else.
hard-work passion work-harder
When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.
ends
In the end, it’s not about failure, it’s about how much you love what you do.
echoes lines eras
The intricate engraving, fine lines, beading and milgrain accents echo an era defined by elaborate embellishments.
thinking color fabric
I brought color to bridal. There was one whole season of blush. If you think about the bareness, the illusion (fabric), the corsets that I did in bridal, they were trends in ready-to-wear, too.
taste arbiter
I see myself as an arbiter of taste.
