“My wedding was at home, so I didn't really want to wear a veil in my house. Instead I wore a lot of diamond hair clips. They were brooches, actually, designed by Lorraine Schwartz.”
“I love vintage and prints.”
“New York is very career-orientated and it's hard to take time off here, but that is great for building a business.”
“I'm a designer, not a businesswoman.”
“One of my most sentimental items is my grandmother's engagement ring that my mom gave me a few years ago. It's a Victorian-style setting that's closed in the back, so it doesn't sparkle the way diamonds do now. I wear it as a pendant.”
“What I love about my husband is that he really allows me to be the best person I can.”
“I went camping in the Maasai Mara and we moved site every night. I had no idea how spectacular it would be, how removed from ordinary life, or how many animals we would see.”
“I love imagining being someone else in another time.”
“We don't leave home without my daughter's doll La-La. She looks like a bit of a rag, but India is obsessed with her.”
“Sometimes if I can't sleep and I am up in the night, I will start researching things - it could be an image I've seen, or a book I am reading.”
“It's good to talk to people and get ideas.”
“I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer.”
“I love children. I've always loved children.”
“I read a lot of thrillers because they're easy reading and I'm not a great flier. They take my head out of it. I like the fast pace and that you can't put them down.”
“I am a control freak.”
