I've worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.

I tend to splurge on fancy dresses because I always think I'll get a lot of wear out of them, but it's false logic. You should really spend more money on the things you wear every day, like jeans.

It's a Japanese way of thinking, that I give value for my merchandise. So I don't want to sell unnecessarily expensive dresses and make just 10 or 20 and then feel satisfied. I want to design for real women who can afford my dresses.

I'm very good when people dress me. But I find it difficult to spend a lot of money on clothes.

I got a custom-made silk dress from a Chinese tailor for really cheap. I sketched it out on a piece of paper, and they took my measurements and made the dress for me in a day!

I'd love to design bridal dresses.

I love bold, colorful party dresses because they don't need accessories. Just throw one on and you're done.

I'm really into fashion, but I don't really spend that much on clothes. I manage to find everything I want at a good price.

I don't actually keep the dresses I've worn during other friends' weddings. Closets are small in New York City - I can't be squandering space on bridesmaid dresses.

There are so many cute vintage dresses made out of synthetics from the '60s and '70s - but they're so itchy and hot. It's not worth it!
