Americans Are Always A Little

The Perfect Accessory Can Make The Difference Between Looking Blah And Totally To Die For

No Human Being Should Wear Tight Satin.

China Is Exciting Because It Is An Extremely Curious And Interested Market. What More Can A Designer Ask For? The Client Here Is Bold And Willing To Try New Things, Which A Country With A Long Fashion History Wouldn't Dare. France Or England Is Weighed Down By All These Rules, Elaborate Etiquette, Do's And Don'ts. Things Here Move Incredibly Quickly.

I Love Fashion Because It's Plugged Into The Zeitgeist, So It's Always Changing. Thirty Years Ago, I Could Never Have Predicted I'd Be Where I Am Today, So I Know I Don't Know What's Going To Happen In The Next Five Years Or The Next 20 Years. I Have My Predictions—i'm Sure Technology Will Continue To Have An Impact On Fashion, Particularly The Way People Shop. I Think Quality Will Be Increasingly Important—we're Moving Away From A Time Of Fast Fashion. But Really, The Only Constant In Fashion Is That You Must Keep Moving Forward, Otherwise You'll Be Left Behind.

The Biggest Lesson That I've Learned Is That Fashion Is This Tightrope Where You Have To Be Consistent But Inconsistent. You Need The Connective Thread But At The Same Time You Need A Sense Of Surprise.
