I'd rather buy clothes then buy a bed

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.

Working in a salon, you look at trends all day long. You're looking at color all the time, what new products are coming out. You're a part of the fashion industry, especially if you're working in a higher-end salon.

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.

When you're an adult designer, you're either running a business or you're helping someone else's business run. Either way, that's a lot of pressure.

I think that red polka red dress is just iconic.

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.
