kids people forget
These kids are more savvy. They know what people are wearing instantly. It's brutal. We're the ones sending the dresses and we can barely keep up; these kids see it before we do. So we know they're plugged in. Now they can forget that for a few hours. Just go big with ideas! Experiment!
fun italian
Our girl's going to Capri for fun. We've got an Italian island vibe.
summer ocean missing
I've been really into a light, bright playfulness that's been missing. I looked at these '60s and '70s photos of Jackie O. She went to Capri every summer, but she was always a little more playful, a little more colorful, than she was in 'normal' life. And it was exciting to see her a little bit "off duty." The colors are from awning stripe umbrellas, from a really clear ocean, and from ripe citrus.
lovely
When Gwyneth Paltrow wore a dress of ours, that was probably our number one best seller besides when the lovely Mrs. [Michelle] Obama wore our dress.
moving thinking
I think Zendaya [Maree Stoermer Coleman] moves product well. We love her! That pink suit she wore of mine sold very well.
work-out helping moments
When Oprah [Winfrey] wears something, it works out, too. But if someone's having "a moment," that always helps.
inspire style timing
You've got to look at the timing. But Mrs. [Michelle] Obama. Gwyneth [Paltrow]. Zendaya. Those are women who inspire other women's style for sure.
girl today different
We have a lot of different girls on the runway today! All different sizes.
design designer push-yourself
The thing is, if you're a designer, then you want to constantly push yourself and your designs. When we make a new collection, we're changing shapes, we're changing patterns. We get a dress on a model, and it's our first time seeing what the dress really looks like on a woman's body.
trying quality pieces
A bad investment is going for quantity over quality. If you're trying to be careful with your wallet, especially with the economy right now, you have to choose staple pieces.
thinking shoes together
I just think it's great to show a gown that's $8,000 and a shoe that's, like, $25-but still look fabulous together.
successful luxury people
For me I'm a luxury brand trying to prove to people and the industry that it's not about being a TV celebrity in any which way, it's about being a designer and having a business and being successful at that.
fashion hate thinking
I hate the terminology of "costume" because my clothes are not costumes at all. I think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but I wouldn't say they're costumes, I'd say they're more couture.
art design ballet
It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.
