The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.

Fashion it's not just about learning how to draw pretty pictures, and how to sew, it's everything that makes up your life.

Just the way it never rains when you have an umbrella, you'll never run into people if you look fantastic. But go outside in pajamas, and you'll run into every ex you have.

Don't give up! You're too talented. You're too good!

I hate the word "eclectic" .I'm a classicist, and I like comfort. Lots of books, lots of artwork, pieces of family furniture, and newer upholstery.

It's not an area where designers want to focus or pay attention - women who are larger than a size 12.

I believe that it's very important to get to know people with whom you can have a substantive dialogue about design and its development. In addition, read everything about fashion that you can get your hands on. A palpable point of view is what makes a designer, so you need to be confident about yours.
