Fall 2013 was inspired by the 1970s equestrian lifestyle. I wanted to incorporate the moody and romantic - intricate baroque detailing and classic menswear elements - with something tougher and edgier in a nod to London's rock n' roll underground.
I'm not trying to set the world on fire; I just want to make really beautiful clothes that women want to wear, can afford, and can really see themselves in.
My basics are black, white, or neutral, and I'll wear a ton of jewelry or carry a brightly colored bag.
I don't come from a family of slackers, but I do come from a family of doers.
On one hand I am this weird androgynous tomboy where I'm strangely low maintenance and have a five-minute makeup regimen. On the other I'm obsessed with all things beauty, from skin care to makeup.
Everyone wants to be a stylist. If you know that's your calling, then you need to intern as much a humanly possible. You need to go to fashion school if you can.
My home has to feel airy and bright with natural light. I don't switch on lamps until it is literally black outside.
The thing that I really look for in people is enthusiasm and excitement and, not to sound really sappy, that fire in their eyes.
When you look like you stepped out of a catalog, that's never good. People shouldn't succumb to trend, they should interpret trend.
I love Fall Fashion Week because it means lots of layering, long sweaters and vintage coats.
I don't think that people should wear dresses two sizes too small. I just think that sexiness is better left to the imagination. It's just more tasteful.
I always carry a Tom Ford lipstick and Tachta face blotters to get me through the day.
Tom Ford does everything perfect.
I believe fantasy and dreaming can be made a reality. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a VIP.
The constant in all the businesses I've become a part of is taking what I do and making it real for everyone. I believe fantasy and dreaming can be made a reality. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a VIP.
I'm a Virgo and I'm more - I don't want to say 'negative' - but I'm the girl who thinks no one's coming to my birthday party, no one's buying my clothes, no one's reading my book, no one's watching my show - that's just how I think.
I wear things that kind of can look good for extended periods of time - fabrics that don't wrinkle, things that don't stain very easily.
