We have a lot of different girls on the runway today! All different sizes.Collection: Girl
We found the time and we put in the effort because being a label that different women can wear is really important to us.Collection: Effort
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!Collection: Beautiful
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.Collection: Summer
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.Collection: Inspire
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.Collection: Numbers
I think that red polka red dress is just iconic.Collection: Thinking
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!Collection: Kids
I'd rather buy clothes then buy a bedCollection: Clothes
When Oprah Winfrey wears something, it works out, too. But if someone's having "a moment," that always helps.Collection: Work Out
The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.Collection: Fashion
I think Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman moves product well. We love her! That pink suit she wore of mine sold very well.Collection: Moving
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.Collection: Fashion
I even like when girls wear printed Minnie Mouse T-shirts with a cool ball gown skirt, or a ripped up pair of jeans - it's all about how you style it.Collection: Girl
When you're a teenager with a creative mind, be as creative as possible. I'd rather you go nuts. Having more ideas is always better.Collection: Teenager
When you're an adult designer, you're either running a business or you're helping someone else's business run. Either way, that's a lot of pressure.Collection: Running
And even with traditional fashion models, where it's their job to be a certain size and a certain proportion, you have to make adjustments once you see your clothes on a real live person. Now imagine doing that with more sizes, more proportions. You really have to play with every piece. So timing is a big part of it. You have to make the time.Collection: Fashion
