After working with clothes for so long, it seemed right to design them.Collection: Design
I was so tall and so skinny - I was that kid who couldn't find anything to wear. All the cool kids would have jeans the right length and I would just think, 'What am I going to do?'Collection: Cool

I've never met a woman who thinks they've got a good enough figure - however perfect they look - which is sad, because no one else can see these perceived flaws; they're entirely internal.Collection: Sad
If you don't feel good in it, don't wear it, because you'll never look good.
When I designed my first house in L.A., I didn't have any money - I did it all on my own. I liked that.
I don't think I realized the extremes of my proportions until I moved to Paris. I thought I'd be 'normal' as a model, but actually, even in that world, I was at one end of the spectrum.
I'm not an easy customer. My attention to detail could probably drive you mad. My eye still always goes toward the single flaw.
I love an iPad game of Scrabble.
I don't really measure success by anything other than if I am happy. That is success to me. Am I happy waking up every morning? And despite the challenges of running my own business, do I look forward to going to work? Absolutely.
I always have to have my lipstick. Sometimes I have more than one shade: start with one color for the morning, one for night. Sometimes I have a couple shades just in case I need something more powerful for the day.
I like talking one-on-one to everyone. I find it really sort of cathartic and interesting to hear people's opinions.
I like a very sexy silhouette, and I like to feel like when you put something on, you zip yourself into it, and you're secure in there.
I've always been very inspired by fashion. I've always been a big fan of style.
I just want to be known for what I do, not who I know.
My entertainment was going to the local dollar movie theatre on the weekend, where I watched old black and white movies. If you wanted current movies, you had to drive to the big city.
When a garment is in sync with your body and its proportions, it looks and feels amazing, and in France that is something that all women know from a young age.
I think everyone evolves over the years, but I have always had the silhouette that I know suits me. I am never going to wear a frothy, poufy thing that sticks out because I have found a style that works for me, and I stick with it.
As a designer, when someone wears my clothes, the biggest compliment I can receive is that the woman looks amazing because my designs have flattered her, not taken over her. I take that philosophy to heart myself each morning when I am getting ready for the day.
I'm a fashion designer. I don't want to be defined as someone's girlfriend.
Luxury is a state of mind.
Enhancing a woman's silhouette and enhancing a woman's beauty - both contribute to enhancing her confidence, so they're synonymous, really.
It was always sort of my dream to make handbags and I wanted a handbag that was very sharp, very structured, very tailored... I wanted a bag you could put all of your things in it, you can open it, you could close it, you could hid all your tricks, but it's not all lumpy.
You'll see the most perfect person, and you are like, 'God, she's, like, perfect.' And then she'll tell you everything that's not perfect. Everyone has their own special set of problems - in their own minds.
Random things are luxurious to people. It's personal.
I am a fashion designer, so I guess that makes me an overpacker.
Guys understand a waistline. They understand a silhouette.

I love a real-life, movie moment in living color.
I never eat where the hotel recommends. I do my own research and then try the most highly rated options.
I am only six foot three, by the way.
I dress for men.
Everyone has their own special set of problems - in their own minds.
The biggest part of my fashion choices is how comfortable it is.
People often try to disguise televisions. I always think that makes it worse. It is what it is!
In the future, I'd like to make jewelry and sell it under my own name. But right now, I've got enough on my plate!
I'm always working. I work wherever I am.
Every season I try to top myself, and push it a little further.
Women of every age and size really just want to look sexy, while retaining their power and dignity.
I have a very big family and a lot of friends, and buying presents is one of my favorite things to do.
There's lots of things you pull out lipstick for.
I take a multivitamin, vitamin D, and omega-3 oils every day, and if I'm stressed or run- down, I bulk up on vitamin C and zinc.
I exercise five days a week at home.
My theory is that balance is key - nothing in excess.
I had to learn to sew when I was growing up, because nothing else fitted me.
I didn't particularly like being objectified.
You can celebrate the female form in comfort. We left corsets behind in the dark ages, so why bring them back now?
