There's such a feeling of satisfaction when something you imagined turned into something real.

I want to make clothes that make women feel beautiful.

I think I'm just really in love with women, and I love to see them looking incredibly, truly beautiful. I think every time a woman wears one of my dresses, you know, in a matter of speaking, I'm having a little love affair with her!

Nails are the period at the end of the sentence. They complete the look

I'm fascinated by furniture design and interiors, and I want to try designing all that stuff.

I decided if it was going to be a mistake to come to New York and try and make a career in fashion, then it was going to be my mistake... But the American dream is real. I'm living it.

I have a 6-year-old niece who doesn't look like the majority of girls on the covers of magazines. I hope that by the time she's 16, the world will have changed.
