“I'm always designing for that sort of dressed-up woman who likes to go...” — Emilia Wickstead Quote

I'm always designing for that sort of dressed-up woman who likes to go to different occasions, who's career focused, but she entertains in the evening... a very sophisticated-feeling working woman who likes to have fun.

I've had women buy their entire wardrobes from me; from suits to full-length evening gowns and sophisticated day dresses, they buy everything.

I was very aware of the fact that I was a young designer, and I didn't want to fall into the trap of 'mother of the bride' dressing and 'occasion-wear.' I wanted to make sure that girls my age were wearing it and that there was a cool factor to my clothes.

There's a great niche in the market for what I do, which is effortless style.

When I wake up, I think, 'What can I do to help others?' I think we all owe the world something. That's the way I am when I'm designing a product.

I was much more interested in making things than in designing them.

When designing a workout program for high level performers, factors such as body type, previous training experience, and even pain tolerance come into play.

I say I design music. I can imagine it and sort of picture it. I think about all of the things I do in the world and say that I'm designing it because it takes the same skill set.

There are a million things I'd rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.
