My bedroom is my sanctuary. It's like a refuge, and it's where I do a fair amount of designing - at least conceptually, if not literally.

I was the girl who nobody thought would ever get married. I was going to be a fashion nun the rest of my life. There are generations of them, those fashion nuns, living, eating, breathing clothes.

Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.

Every woman hates her own body. I don't know a woman who doesn't . . . well, I do know a few who love themselves but in the case of most women it's like, ugh. And when I dress a woman, my design intention is to give them an attitude or a grace, no matter whether it's a wedding gown or ready-to-wear.

When brides ask me, What's the best advice you can give me on my wedding day? I always have the same answer: Be yourself. Someone's marrying you, they love you for who you are, and they don't want you to be someone else.

As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.

Image
There was no relationship between a wedding dress and fashion. There was no good taste, either. I realized that I could make an impression in terms of changing and readdressing the whole industry of bridal.

My mother was extremely controlled, sort of flawless. And I always tend to be a bit more hippie.

I love a black wedding dress.

I am not the sort of woman who would wear high heels with a bathing suit. Let's get that straight right now.

I've been designing since I was 8. I started sketching dresses I could wear when skating. I was always involved in all aspects of skating, not just the technique, the choreography, the music, but the visual aspects, too - what I should wear.

Bridal is always about who you are as a person and as a woman and as a lover and as a mate. People always ask me how a woman can pick just one dress. And the funny thing is they always know.

Ready-to-wear is what I've wanted to do since the beginning. ... I'm not a girl who spends my life in a ballgown
