I never want to quit playing ball. They'll have to cut this uniform off of me to get me out of it.
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.
When you're playing the same dirty dozen night after night, the moments that keep it fresh are those when you just let go and trust everyone.
