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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I hope the average woman feels she needs practicality but with a little bit of fantasy. Otherwise, it's just not fashion.
I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.
I'm not trying to set the world on fire; I just want to make really beautiful clothes that women want to wear, can afford, and can really see themselves in.
I wish I was more into clothes. I don't know the current designers.
You can make clothing as art, but I like the idea of my clothes actually being worn and being useful to women.
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.
Most women I know love the idea of fashion, but the practicalities that go with it are just distressing.
The reason I go for the designers is because they make me feel good. It's about finding clothes that make you feel good as a woman. If I like it, I'll wear it. You have to go with your instincts and not be led by trends.
It's very passe to think women want to spend a fortune on clothes.
I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.
