Generally, I play the kind of ethereal, fragile-on-the-outside-but-hard-and-damaged-on-the-inside type.

When you ask people, 'What's the opposite of fragile?,' they tend to say robust, resilient, adaptable, solid, strong. That's not it. The opposite of fragile is something that gains from disorder.

I'm always inspired when there's a robustness to the material in front of me.

I've made peace with the fact that the things that I thought were weaknesses or flaws were just me. I like them.

I don't like things like little sandals that look fragile. I like to look strong and commanding.

In terms of long-term durable storage, the human mind, paradoxically, is pretty good, but it's very fragile.

Well, shoes, bags and clutches are usually my big weaknesses - my husband always laughs when I call them 'investment pieces.'

I like decorative, functional things that I feel comfortable in.
