I didn't have a vision as in, This is where I'm going. I had a vision as in, "This is what I love to do."

I like romance, I like glamour and I like realism. I think that's a great combination.

Glamour is an attitude-it's the expression of a certain kind of confidence. A glamorous woman is always elegant, but she also possesses an air of mystery and excitement. She's dramatic-almost untouchable.

I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim. Some women think that if the look this season is minis, they have to wear minis. If you don't have great legs, there are plenty of alternatives.

The best thing you can do is go away from this saying, 'I can do this too,' because it's all possible and I'm living proof.

As a kid, I was always into clothes, but I didn't have the money to buy them. When I'd get my brothers' hand-me-downs, there was an energy in me that made me say, "I want to get my own things, to make my own statement." Somewhere along the line, that energy - coupled with my exposure, through movies, to a world I hadn't known - turned into something.

I try to design into a world that is constantly moving, and moving me.
