New York for me is about work. If L.A. were to become a West Coast version of that, I'd shoot myself. The climate, the lifestyle - it really fits as the yin to my New York yang.

A bride should look at everything she possibly can...just so she can experiment and see what makes her really feel beautiful or glamorous or classical or whatever she desires to be on that particular day.

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

It's hard to juggle being a businessperson with being a creative person. You have to organize yourself - PR needs me for PR, and the licensing division needs me for licensing, the bridal people need me for bridal.

I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.

The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart's attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.

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.
