Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush; otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a dress-up chest at home. I love to create this fantasy kind of thing.
For holidays, I like doing special cheery touches around the table, like color-coordinating the plates and napkins to fit the theme.
The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.
If I were really being myself. I'd just curl up in the corner and knit.
Make-up is all about shading; it's about tactical application.
I have a lot of Missoni tablecloths, but for breakfast, we use placemats - we call them 'American-style.' I have some in crazy patterns from the Swedish brand Svenskt Tenn. And I like plates from Grottaglie in Puglia, stained in wild colors.
When a piece gets difficult, make faces.
When I get on a roll with something, it's really hard for me to put it down unfinished.
I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam; it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it's not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
