When I first got Yves Saint Laurent Couture, I didn't know how to take off a cape. I would ask Katoucha and Dalma - the real divas of the runway - 'Can you show me?' I've never been afraid to ask for help.
I love fashion as much as I love basketball! It is a great joy for me to express myself through designing my own collection.
I wanted to be considered a good craftsman. I wanted my dresses to be constructed like buildings, molded to the curves of the female form, stylizing its shape.
I preferred sewing to bossing little children.
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've always wanted to design clothes.
Fashion designing involves a lot of work, and, as opposed to the general perception, it is different from costume designing for films. While a fashion designer can take up a costume designer's role, it is not possible vice versa.
If I am wearing a T-shirt, it's probably by Wap Two.
My father made bridal dresses, which he sold wholesale, and always wanted me to join him. He looked upon what I did as precarious and frivolous - except that he loved it when my name was in the papers.
I always wanted to be a fashion designer and I learned costume illustration in high school. That was an incredible high school. It was more like a college. I'm moving more in that direction, just kind of merchandising my name.
Designing a collection with Aeropostale was completely surreal.
I majored in fashion design in school, and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing, jewelry, and stuff like that; so this was just a step for me in that direction.
When I go into a store and find a T-shirt that's well-designed with a great fabric but the fit is all wrong, the T-shirt is ruined for me.
I never knew that I would be actually designing clothes or as into fashion as I am now.
I always shout out my dad. My artistic roots come from him. He had his own T-shirt company and taught me the trade.
I've always loved fashion design. I love drawing and creating looks and styling.
I have a background in graphic design and have been designing t-shirt graphics for years.
The fashion world has been great. We started Apple Bottoms about seven years ago; it's interesting to be able to create something from your perspective, for your fans and support. It's a little different for me, because about 70% of my fans are females.
I'd like mostly stuff for design, because I like to design clothing.
After working with clothes for so long, it seemed right to design them.
I think of fashion as an art form as well as an industrial product - and something that has to be sold well and has to be of high quality.
Like basketball, fashion is hard work.
I don't design my own clothes. It's so not what I think about.
I can't force the direction that it's going to go without actually taking the time to make sure it's a great, great quality product. Whether that's for apparel, or whatever the case may be.
I really see myself continuing to design clothes, fragrances.
