When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.
Let's be realistic, how many people are buying a $2, 000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.
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 always see where I didn't do things the right way. I only see the heavy lifting. That's a bit of my wisdom, if you want to call it that.
