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.

As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.

I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.

I love the focus and bravery of European designers, but I love the nonchalance and throwaway aspect of America that has made Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein two of the greatest icons. I try to bridge those two worlds in my work. The clothes may be couture on the runway but there's an attitude that's very street and that comes from America.

I am not the sort of woman who would wear high heels with a bathing suit. Let's get that straight right now.

I love sportswear in my own weird way. Fashion is such a personal journey for me. I'm much more of a girl that's a T-shirt, legging, layering kind of thing, and outerwear.
