. . . Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
I started my blog - never thought that would have an audience, and that turned into such a huge, life-changing career for me. I definitely wanted it, I just didn't fully plan on it, of course.
In the beginning I just was dreaming about working in fashion at all, no matter what the role would be, and it just seemed so unlikely. I was living in San Diego and it seemed so far away.
I feel like doing basic, casual pieces and then doing really elevated, more unexpected things is becoming more possible. I feel like I do eventually want to be able to address more categories, like active or evening.
I'm such a maniac about just having every last possible bit feel just as if so much care was put into it, and it was. It's almost like a really selfish experience to wear one of our slip dresses or one of our blouses because it's so luxurious in a secret way.
I've been so lucky that there's been such an intense and positive response to the line. It's one of the craziest things.
Any type of commercialization or, like I said, watering that idea down would be so damaging and frankly, be pretty uninspiring to me, because the fact that every piece is like my dream thing that I just can't get enough of and am just so excited to wear, is just the whole point of it.
Once I've settled on something I'll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour.
Lucy: I don't understand men. Nettie: What is there to understand? If you feed 'em regular-like and give 'em a bit of 'sugar' now and then, they're easy enough. And if they don't behave, you just toss 'em out on their arses. That's what I always say.
The way of a creative mind is always positive, it always asserts; it does not know the doubts which are so characteristic of the scientific mind.
I think it's unfortunate to have critics for friends.
