I design some of my own clothes now.

I have always loved clothes, and the opportunity to design my own line could not be missed. It's a dream job.

I became a fashion designer by accident. I loved to make portrait drawings when I was a teenager, and from that came the interest in what people were wearing and why they were wearing it.

I brought a lot of my own pieces of clothes to the design room when I first met with the design team just so they could see what my style was like.

Even before I was discovered in 1966, I used to make my own clothes. I learned how to sew early on, and it's still my passion now. I constantly have ideas in my head about clothes so jumped at the chance to do my own collection and am very hands-on. Everything I design, I wear and I love.

I have always been interested in design, but in the beginning I didn't set out to make jewelry specifically.

My mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design.

I started out making personal pieces, and realized that I actually like designing. I am self-taught, so I had a lot to learn technically.

I was a baby when I began, but I knew exactly what I wanted to wear myself. I became a jewelry designer because I knew how to do something with a pencil and sketch my ideas.

I wanted to be involved with fashion, though I didn't know what being a designer meant.
