Brides today are increasingly sensitive to the tastes, feelings and finances of their attendants.

They never ask the celebrities why they don't wear their own clothes on the red carpet.

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

I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules.

All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it.

Image
I always see where I didn't do things the right way. I only see the heavy lifting. That's a bit of my wisdom, if you want to call it that.

We got a lot of letters of people who didn't like them, like my own family who thought they were unnecessary and unpleasant and taking advantage of women in a sad situation - I never saw that. And I think that sometimes, you have to take a risk.

I love the focus and bravery of European designers, but I love the nonchalance and throwaway aspect of America that has made Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein two of the greatest icons. I try to bridge those two worlds in my work. The clothes may be couture on the runway but there's an attitude that's very street and that comes from America.

It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.

A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

Don't be afraid to take time to learn. It's good to work for other people. I worked for others for 20 years. They paid me to learn.
