Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good. I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing. Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter. Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be. Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect.
