I have cellulite – and had it even when I was at my absolute thinnest. I’m never not going to have cellulite. People need to just accept that it’s there and maybe dress accordingly or use body makeup to cope with it.
Someday I’m going to go onstage in a dress if I want to.
My manager wants me to dress like a nun and I want to dress like a teenager.
I think about how best to live my grandmother’s twin mantras that ‘Life is not a dress rehearsal’ and ‘Life is not about what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.’

When I just started my career, of course, I always try to look very good, and I changes the dress all the time on the performance. And people came to me and said, ‘Oh, beautiful dress.

The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
I feel like a turtleneck dress that’s long-sleeved and covers your entire body but is tight fitting is so much sexier than boobs spilling out, you know? So I guess I’m more into being classy sexy versus apparent sexy.
I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, ‘This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.’ But then, that’s the goal: world domination through style.
If I went to a regular job, if I was a secretary or something, I’d want to look good. I’d dress up for that part.
You should feel good about making your home nicer for your family and your friends. You should feel great about cooking a good dinner and making a dress for a granddaughter, creating a beautiful birthday party. It’s all part of life.

The weather in California is so much hotter than it is in England that it’s absolutely changed my style. I have many more dresses and shorts than I ever thought I would coming from U.K.! It’s so much easier to dress femininely in a warm climate.
I instinctively dress a bit tougher because I’ve spent a lot of time in the U.S. and I realised there was a certain image projected of me here. I’ve always been an absolute rebel. When I was in my teen years I had piercings and wore all black.
I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll.

When I got into junior high school, that’s when my mom let me dress how I wanted to dress. Up to that point I wore suits to school all the time.
Costume designers don’t care about trends. They appreciate, above so many other qualities, that tailoring is everything, which is a mantra for the way I dress. Ladies: The most important thing in clothing is to find a good, inexpensive tailor, because clothes at the stores are made for bodies that are anomalies.
Most of the models have this thing I call slouchy sexy, not only in the way they dress, but in the way carry themselves. I don’t think they would look hot in one of my dresses. They are more into A. Wang. Most of my clothes are nerdy sexy.
Yesterday morning I amused myself with an exercise of a talent I once possessed, but have so neglected that my performance might almost be called an experiment. I cut out a dress for one of the women.

For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.
I like normal clothes, jeans, and t-shirt. Sometimes a dress.
However I dress it up, I was a spy and I am not proud of it.
I hate formal stuff. I love looking like a doll and all that stuff and playing dress up, but when I’m home, sweat pants, t-shirt. When I’m in the studio, sweat pants, t-shirt.
It’s definitely attractive when a man can dress well.
I was the kid growing up who would play with G.I. Joes in a pink dress and then run off to play with my Barbies. It doesn’t mean that I’m less girly, it just means that I have this other side of me. It’s kinda cool to be a little bit of both, I think.
I dress like a boy most of the time because I like what’s comfortable, so sometimes when I have to wear dresses and makeup, it’s kind of comedic. I take lots of pictures on my cell phone: ‘Look, I’m dressed like a girl! Surprise!’

Occasionally, I will come across something that has lost its label over the years – maybe the client didn’t want to declare the dress at customs and took the label out – but I’ll recognize it from an image that I’ve seen in Vogue, or a little thumbnail sketch.
Songs like ‘Outfit’ and ‘Decoration Day’ and ‘Dress Blues,’ those were good songs, but the output wasn’t as consistent in those days.

No doubt I enjoy being close to people in the way I dress, the way I speak, and the way I communicate with people.
Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don’t have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I’ve tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.
I am working on a dress sock line of funky, colorful, cool designs.
