Brides today are increasingly sensitive to the tastes, feelings and finances of their attendants.

A bride should look at everything she possibly can...just so she can experiment and see what makes her really feel beautiful or glamorous or classical or whatever she desires to be on that particular day.

I never thought I'd be successful. It seems in my own mind that in everything I've undertaken I've never quite made the mark. But I've always been able to put disappointments aside. Success isn't about the end result; it's about what you learn along the way.

I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.

I was a total fashion insider who became an outsider when I did bridal.

All I did my first year at Vogue was Xerox.

I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.
