As A Fashion Designer, I Was Always Aware That I Was Not An Artist, Because I Was Creating Something That Was Made To Be Sold, Marketed, Used, And Ultimately Discarded.

A Film Should Be Somewhat Personal. I Think That Whatever You Create You Have To Be True To Yourself And Create Something That Feels Right To You.

I Do Struggle Because I’m Attracted To Beautiful Things, Yet At The Same Time I Am Actually Very Aware, In Some Sense, Their Lack Of Value And That The Most Important Things In Life Are Your Connections To Other People.

To Me, Beauty And Sadness Are Very Closely Linked. Truly Beautiful Things Make Me Sad Because I Know They Are Going To Fade.

But Maybe They Are Beautiful Because We Know They Are Not Permanent And They Are In A Kind Of Transition.

There's A Different Kind Of Comfort That Comes From Knowing That You Are Putting Your Best Foot Forward. It's Called Psychological Comfort. Look At A Picture Of The Coney Island Boardwalk In 1925. Men Were In Full-on Three-piece Suits, Hats. They May Have Only Had One Suit. But They Pressed It. They Made It Look As Good As Possible.
