I'm sure every designer has a certain person in mind who they would ideally like to wear their clothes, but the problem is that a lot of the time that person doesn't actually exist, unless she is a 15-year-old model.

Designing kids clothes is something personal to me because I'm a mother. So to be able to see my kids wearing something I've designed is very fulfilling. With the kids' collection, we really try to focus on great quality with an accessible price point in styles that appeal to both parents and kids.

Clothes are not frippery. Properly done, they can be an art form.

Fashion embraces the weirdos. They're into that. There are always young people that people in fashion are interested in. You know, youth and vitality and energy - it brings something different.

As a child, as a teenager, I was kind of not allowed to wear fashionable clothes.

Kids who have no money are still figuring out a way - somehow - to dress nicely.

There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.

And you know, the baby boomers are getting older, and those off the rack clothes are just not fitting right any longer, and so, tailor-made suits are coming back into fashion.

One thing about costume design - and I think design in general - but especially costume design, is people have a misconception that it's very glamorous work.
