Women's Wear Daily can do more than any other publication to establish a designer.
I'm a jewelry girl. I became with friends with designer Irene Neuwirth a few years ago. At that point I just used to wear my wedding rings. Very low key. Now if I could I'd be draped from head to toe in her jewelry all the time. Everything she makes is beautiful.
I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion because I don't think that many designers get to do that.
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 became a set designer for opera. I'm a great opera buff I love classical music and I needed a time-out.
I don't want to criticize any other designers but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry - directors and producers - are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames.
But having a perfume and license in general is a financial necessity. A designer must to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.
I'd love to go to fashion week! I'm learning more about designers thanks to 'Pretty Little Liars'' costume designer Mandi Line.
I enjoyed studying costume learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer.
I'm interested in learning more about myself and what I value in myself and letting that be the beautiful part of me rather than putting on the makeup or wearing the right designer.
I dropped out of school for a semester transferred to another college switched to an art major graduated got married and for a while worked as a graphic designer.
I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.
There is a lot of hype and fear about this much-talked-about prospect of designer babies.
But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous then it's the actresses then it's the designers.
Writers now are putting total faith in designers at Apple and Amazon. It's almost like a race-car driver having no input into how cars are designed.
I think I can make an entirely new game experience and if I can't do it some other game designer will.
I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.
Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.
Just what future the Designer of the universe has provided for the souls of men I do not know I cannot prove. But I find that the whole order of Nature confirms my confidence that if it is not like our noblest hopes and dreams it will transcend them.
That's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for.
If you decide to design your own language there are thousands of sort of amateur language designer pitfalls.
I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built I know what the end result is the horsepower the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.
I'm really not for famous people who design a line for a company when you know it's not really them creating it but a team of designers especially when there are so many talented people who've taken the time to go and study fashion.
We used to be referred to as bakers and then we became known as cake decorators and now we are known as cake designers. I teach at the French Culinary Institute in New York and cake design is a legitimate profession.
I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.
There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it I think how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?
What I've learned from different designers is that it's key to be true to who you are and your vision. That's always been my line of thinking. Working through the whole design process I don't want to create something I wouldn't be proud to wear.
I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning number one I'm a mother and a wife and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create hopefully exquisitely beautiful desirable objects for my customer.
I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career.
I'm not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I've never been to design school. I can't sketch. I can't cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.
