I Couldn't Live If I Wasn't A

I Don't Like To Have Time On My Wall; It's Too-in-your-face.

Making Clothes Involves What I Like...color, Pattern, Shape And Movement...i Like The Everyday Process...the People, The Pressure, The Surprise Of Seeing The Work Come Alive Walking And Dancing Around On Strangers. Like Red Lipstick On The Mouth, My Products Wake Up And Brighten And Bring The Wearer To Life...drawing Attention To Her Beauty And Specialness...her Moods And Movements...her Dreams And Fantasies.

I Hate To Say It, But The Truth Is That The Upscale Line Is Where I Get Respect As A Designer. The Higher The Price Range, The Higher The Respect Level From The Industry, Even Though It's Much Easier To Make A Great $500 Dress Than A Great $100 Dress.

I Used To Design For My Body, Which Was Flat-chested With Big Hips. That's Why My Clothes Were Tight On Top With Full Skirts.

I Never Wanted To Join Fashion Industry Or Being Another Donna Or Another Dianne. I Made Clothes That I Wanted To Wear. I Would Cut, I Would Sew And I Would Wear, And It Made Me To Feel Better.
