Wisdom

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.

Wedding

I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives their creativity.

Success

Although in skating you compete with other people anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better learn more learn faster is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.

Respect

Even the most understated ceremony involves a certain respect for ritual and pageantry. No one plays more of a significant role than the bride's attendants.

Relationship

There was no relationship between a wedding dress and fashion. There was no good taste either. I realized that I could make an impression in terms of changing and readdressing the whole industry of bridal.

Funny

The funny thing is that I'm the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who's traveled with me. Normally I'm in so many layers I look like Lawrence of Arabia!

Design

Let's be realistic how many people are buying a $2000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.

Design

All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it.

Design

When I design a wedding dress with a bustle it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.
