I help design my own tennis clothes.
I decided to do everything around fashion but fashion itself, and that's accessories.
I'd love to have a fashion range; I've been dressed by the amazing Vivienne Westwood, and fashion is something I'm a huge fan of.
If I ever have to return to dressmaking I still have that possibility.
I seem to always start a collection by designing outerwear and jackets.
I wanted to be a fashion designer.
I need human feelings to fit garments. I couldn't do it just, like, on an object - it's too close to our body. It's like a skin you are making, so you need one's feelings to make a garment.
One of my pet peeves in athleisure today is clothes that make a woman feel square and one-dimensional.
I love fashion, and I simply enjoy good design in clothes and regard that as one of my hobbies.
Every time I design clothes, I'm making a movie.
My dream was always to be a composer, but fashion came very easily.
My father was a dress cutter, and my mother was a tailoress, so I was brought up to appreciate a good frock.
I've always wanted to design clothes.
The costume of the Arab is the index of his inefficiency. In the first place, it makes him a one-armed man, for in order to retain his various garments in place, he is always using one hand as a safety pin.
My father was a tailor, my mother a machinist.
For one thing, I am still working as an adviser on fashion, design and colour and stuff.
I feel so many times with clothing lines, they don't talk to women to see what they want.
I've never liked to conceptualize too much about fashion, like it was art or science, which it is not. But it's nice when there's a clear idea behind a collection.
My designs are slightly subversive in their way; it can be in the cut or the colour, but they're always obtainable: they're not so difficult that a 40-year-old woman wanting to go to a cocktail party looking foxy and a little bit different in something well-made would be alienated by them.
Making your own clothes is great - but don't make everything, or I'll be out of a job!
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.
I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body.
I'm big into fashion, so after swimming, when I hang up the Speedo, I definitely want to get into fashion and start designing my own clothing line.
I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.
I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.
