Always have fun with fashion. Dress to entertain yourself.
Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked at all times.
Keep your sunny side up, keep yourself beautiful, and indulge yourself!
You have to hold onto your fantasy.
Just to see what a pink dress can mean to a woman, any woman, but a disabled woman, that's extra special and thrilling because they shouldn't be separated and their disabilities don't have to separate them in anyway.
Hard times always lead to something great.
Real success is being totally indulgent about your own trip. You put your blinders on about the garbage and go full speed ahead.
Making clothes involves what I like...color, pattern, shape and movement...I like the everyday process...the people, the pressure, the surprise of seeing the work come alive walking and dancing around on strangers. Like red lipstick on the mouth, my products wake up and brighten and bring the wearer to life...drawing attention to her beauty and specialness...her moods and movements...her dreams and fantasies.
I never wanted to join fashion industry or being another Donna or another Dianne. I made clothes that I wanted to wear. I would cut, I would sew and I would wear, and it made me to feel better.
In the 60′s there was a look. In the 70′s there was a look, and in the 80′s. Now, it's a free-for-all.
I never keep anything beautiful in the closet.
I'm usually the sparkle in a closet full of conservative clothes. Either that or my customer has a closet full of my clothes and a few conservative suits from Calvin Klein. I think you've got to give a girl what's missing from her closet. If something jazzy, tacky or sexy is what's missing, I provide it.
Girls don't dress for boys.
I'm not the type of person who dwells too much on bad things.
I couldn't live if I wasn't a designer.
When you're designing clothing, you really only have one point of focus, and that's the body. But home is fabrics and furniture and floors and natural light. If fashion is a planet, home is more like a universe.
Love is a disease of the heartin the end, there is no treatment curable and it might just kill you.
There is an excitement about having nightmares.
[In the 1960s]...you could take LSD but you couldn't wear a pantsuit.
My customer isn't wrapped up in labels and money.
A good use for me is to let me go away with my sewing machine and come back with some really new stuff.
I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.
I don't like to have time on my wall; it's too-in-your-face.
It's just been so heartwarming to see my clothes on people in wheelchairs and people needing physical support.
