I do like the idea of women not showing too much, of them being quite reserved in a way, and quite covered.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm fascinated by how much we, as women, have to subjugate and hide ourselves in order to get on in the world.
For me, doing a show is great, but I want women to be able to wear the clothes easily as well.
I wish we lived in a world where how you looked or what you wore wasn't an issue for men or women, and it's by and large not an issue for men, so I wish it wasn't an issue for women, but it is.
Yes, women should be free to cover their faces when walking down the street. But in our schools, hospitals, airports, banks and civil institutions, it is not unreasonable - nor contrary to the teachings of Islam - to expect women to show the one thing that allows the rest of us to identify them... namely, their face.
I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things.
What women have to stand on squarely is not their ability to see the world in the way men see it, but the importance and validity of their seeing it in some other way.
I think it's great for the women to show that they are women and be feminine. And that's something that I've always promoted.
I think that still, for the most part, even in 2010, the vast majority of museum shows and gallery shows and gallerists are pretty much dominated by men. So having a sense of what women are up to, for me, frankly, is very, very important.
I like to show as much of a woman as I can. I like to fill things out.
On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter.
