There are still places to go, there are still dinners, there are still parties, and you can still get dressed up. That's part of having fun in fashion.
You can wear whatever, be whatever, do whatever you want.
I think everybody needs a little bit of Minnie in their wardrobe.
The bows, the polka dots, the color, the playfulness - you don't have to over do it. You just have to be able to style it in the right way.
The thing is, if you're a designer, then you want to constantly push yourself and your designs. When we make a new collection, we're changing shapes, we're changing patterns. We get a dress on a model, and it's our first time seeing what the dress really looks like on a woman's body.
Everything I wear is a do and everything else is a don't!
Shoes are a big part of your look. I think that if your outfit isn't really something special, then fun footwear is a great way to jazz it up and make your ensemble more interesting.
Our girl's going to Capri for fun. We've got an Italian island vibe.
We have a lot of different girls on the runway today! All different sizes.
We found the time and we put in the effort because being a label that different women can wear is really important to us.
I think the "trick" is you have to really want to do it. You're embracing more of the world. Which is great. We're all in the world together, you know? And the models in the show who are "plus size," they're not in a special place, they're not wearing differently styled outfits. They're just beautiful girls who are in the show, like normal. Everything's normal. That's how it should be!
I've been really into a light, bright playfulness that's been missing. I looked at these '60s and '70s photos of Jackie O. She went to Capri every summer, but she was always a little more playful, a little more colorful, than she was in 'normal' life. And it was exciting to see her a little bit "off duty." The colors are from awning stripe umbrellas, from a really clear ocean, and from ripe citrus.
I came from a different world from other designers because I already had such a strong fan base that was interested in fashion. You have to give the little divas something.
I think I was very young when I became interested in fashion.
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.
You've got to look at the timing. But Mrs. Michelle Obama. Gwyneth Paltrow. Zendaya. Those are women who inspire other women's style for sure.
When Gwyneth Paltrow wore a dress of ours, that was probably our number one best seller besides when the lovely Mrs. [Michelle] Obama wore our dress.
I think that red polka red dress is just iconic.
These kids are more savvy. They know what people are wearing instantly. It's brutal. We're the ones sending the dresses and we can barely keep up; these kids see it before we do. So we know they're plugged in. Now they can forget that for a few hours. Just go big with ideas! Experiment!
I'd rather buy clothes then buy a bed
I'm going to have some fabulous nights out with champagne.
Fabrics and lining make a big difference in the garment. If you're buying an expensive trench coat, and it's lined in something cheap, it doesn't feel as nice.
It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.
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 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.
