I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.

To me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It's like makeup. It's the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.

It's a remarkable exercise to sit and look at your own work over the years.

I see myself as an arbiter of taste.

I don't live through my kids. But I do know what will happen in life, and I just want them well prepared.

In terms of bridal dress, I've tried everything. I've tried short, long, deconstructed, constructed, bustiers, working in fabrics, working in color. I've been working in color in bridal for probably 15 years. Who else would do an entire collection dipped in tea? I did that one year. My design team dipped every single dress in tea in a bathtub. I did that just because I wanted to work out of the vocabulary of white.

When you love something, every day goes by in 10 minutes.
