You can make clothing as art, but I like the idea of my clothes actually being worn and being useful to women.

It takes a real designer to design for real women.

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.

Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.

I so often heard from women that they saw this beautiful fashion, but it didn't always work for them - whether it was cultural reasons, lifestyle reasons, body type reasons. So it seemed like in my mind there was a gap there, that women really wanted to be able to customize items to fit their needs and their tastes.

I'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.

Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer. So my being able to reach the masses was something that meant a great deal to me - especially for women who could never wear Vera Wang.

Women's fashion is more interesting than men's.

I don't buy this premise that the number of minifigures needs to be an equal amount to be gender neutral. Nobody makes artistic products like that; nobody makes a movie and says there has to be equal numbers of men and women.

It used to be if you wanted something nice to wear, you would sew it yourself for your body type. Women before the 20th century didn't have this problem. Now, it seems we're all squeezed into random designs. They're designed for no one.
