In regards to being a fashion aficionado there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design and love when things are beautiful.

With fashion you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.

I've never mentioned this but when I was at Parsons teaching the other design disciplines they don't like fashion design. They see it as very nineteenth-century.

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.

I majored in fashion design in school and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing jewelry and stuff like that so this was just a step for me in that direction.

I studied literature design and fashion design.

I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning number one I'm a mother and a wife and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create hopefully exquisitely beautiful desirable objects for my customer.

When I design and wonder what the point is I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So in that sense fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

I like the gritty parts of fashion the design the studio the pictures.

The principle of the design - the harmony rhythm and balance are all the same with interior and fashion design.
