My mom, she was unbelievable. She ran the whole town. She was like the mayor. There would be 15 people eating at our lunch table. She'd drag people from the street.
From Francisco Costa
I came to New York when I was 21, 22. I couldn't speak English. I knew I wanted to go to fashion school.
I wanted to be involved with fashion, though I didn't know what being a designer meant.
I hope the average woman feels she needs practicality but with a little bit of fantasy. Otherwise, it's just not fashion.
I'm not an artist. I'm a fashion designer of clothes.
I never liked sleeping; I always think I am missing something.
I drape a lot. I cut. I have to touch. For me, it's almost impossible to start without that.
I just hate people who are lazy. To be on my team, you have to have energy and a sense of wanting to learn. That really excites me.
I have no tolerance for boredom. I spend so many hours in the office, and I still love it.
I get so much inspiration from my travels, but I also started an exercise where I write down so many words every week. Then I begin crossing them off. We create a grid of words and also images, but words for me are more ample because you can interpret them your own way.
