I think Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman moves product well. We love her! That pink suit she wore of mine sold very well.

Fabrics and lining make a big difference in the garment. If you're buying an expensive trench coat, and it's lined in something cheap, it doesn't feel as nice.

The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.

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.

I've been really into a light, bright playfulness that's been missing. I looked at these '60s and '70s photos of Jackie O.

The colors are from awning stripe umbrellas, from a really clear ocean, and from ripe citrus.
