“My first retailer was Saks Fifth Avenue. I didn't even know how to ship a box to a retailer. Like, how do you pack it? How do you send it to make sure it gets on the floor? You figure it out as you go along.”
“There are a ton of A-list stars I'd love to dress - fashionistas like Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson. Also, Cate Blanchett would be fun and fabulous. My picks vary by the day and how I'm feeling. But, as a new, young designer, I'm open to working with everyone!”
“I'm young and I have a lot of experience and I learn quickly.”
“I just think it's great to show a gown that's $8,000 and a shoe that's, like, $25 - but still look fabulous together.”
“If you book the same models that look and act the same in every show - I get the continuity, and it is beautiful to see, but there's also no life to it. I'm personally not a fan of that.”
“Working in a salon, you look at trends all day long. You're looking at color all the time, what new products are coming out. You're a part of the fashion industry, especially if you're working in a higher-end salon.”
“I am confident and I work so hard to be confident. If I wasn't talented, then I wouldn't be as confident.”
“Everything I wear is a do and everything else is a don't!”
“A bad investment is going for quantity over quality. If you're trying to be careful with your wallet, especially with the economy right now, you have to choose staple pieces.”
“I hate the terminology of 'costume' because my clothes are not costumes at all. I think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but I wouldn't say they're costumes, I'd say they're more couture.”
“In the beginning, my first clients were Oprah, Whoopi Goldberg, and all different types of women.”
“Well I am from Annapolis Maryland. I went to High school in Baltimore, but I grew up in Annapolis. It was a cute town. We lived on a waterfront community. It was good, even though I don't really fit the preppy boater kind of style.”
“I'm going to have some fabulous nights out with champagne.”
“I hate hearing from anyone ever saying, 'Oh, you only make clothes for models. That's so annoying,' because it just never, never is the case. Our top-selling size is probably a 12.”
“I'm really not into casual clothes for a cocktail party. I like to see fun people, having fun, in fun clothes.”
“Women are wanting to wear my clothes not only because they're great clothes but because of what we represent.”
“You can wear whatever, be whatever, do whatever you want.”
“I am around ladies' clothing all day long, and I get real sick of clothes.”
“I want to have my own line and collection.”
“I'm not a fan of underdressing, I think it's better to be overdressed than underdressed.”
