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.

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.

When you're a teenager with a creative mind, be as creative as possible. I'd rather you go nuts. Having more ideas is always better.

I even like when girls wear printed Minnie Mouse T-shirts with a cool ball gown skirt, or a ripped up pair of jeans - it's all about how you style it.

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!

I think everybody needs a little bit of Minnie in their wardrobe.

When Oprah Winfrey wears something, it works out, too. But if someone's having "a moment," that always helps.
