Frankly, from my perspective, the bomber jacket is such a classic item you can wear it even when it's not on trend.

If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.

And I'm the first one to tell people to break the rules. But you can only break the rules once you know what the rules are. The other thing is, fashion is the last design discipline to actually have academic texts and historical analysis.

You have no control over other people's taste, so focus on staying true to your own.

If you have to ask if a clothing item is a dress or a top, it is always a top.

I will say that the high road can get so high that you can get a nose bleed, in which case you have to get off the high road.

Things are recalibrated according to new perspectives and perceptions. It's fascinating to me.
