Emilia Wickstead Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Emilia Wickstead:

The message I want to put forward for women is that I never want it to be about, 'Oh, it's a bit difficult to put that together,' or, 'She can dress that way, but I can't.' Actually, my designs are for all women, and I truly believe that you can make yourself feel wonderful in whatever you wear. That's the importance behind what I design.

What's exciting for me is to make sure that people do still dress up - how do we do that in this fast-paced modern world, when we're all on the move and all so busy?

I am a little obsessed with stripes.

I don't think there's any excuse for not being able to put on a beautiful product and make yourself feel fabulous. Just have some key pieces in your wardrobe that aren't seasonal.

Emilia Wickstead

Once, four friends and I cut all our hair off, like boys. A couple of them cried afterwards, but I thought we looked really good.

I would've loved to dress Diana Vreeland. I just loved her work as a creative woman and as a business woman - unpredictable, exciting, fun, and very, very clever.

Emilia Wickstead

The most wonderful thing about having a small business is that every person we dress gets a really intimate process.

Emilia Wickstead

If I'd really known how hard I was going to have to work behind the scenes to have any kind of business, I think I would have stopped.

The first wedding dress I ever made was for myself. It was at a time when I had my business up and running, but it was still very early days, and I thought, 'This is my moment to do whatever I like.'

My father, Dennis Popham, was a very handsome, talented artist, and as my mother always reminds me, 'someone who had wonderful style.' He was half Samoan-German, half New Zealander, and their first date was to a Fleetwood Mac concert, which I love the thought of.

Red lipstick aside, I firmly believe that less is more in terms of make-up.

Emilia Wickstead

I think that the typical Emilia Wickstead women is very effortless, very sophisticated: she's got alluring style, and she's always taking on fashion. I always describe her as 'imaginative with her own taste'.

Emilia Wickstead

I'd like to think we can make a nice, glowing change to British dressing.

Emilia Wickstead

I'd say I play on old world couture as opposed to modern day bridal; there's something very timeless and appealing in that.

Emilia Wickstead

It's quite funny. I grew up with my mother: as a designer, she was always working, and I actually used to say to her, 'Whatever you do, never leave me your business.'

Emilia Wickstead

To escape and sit quietly on the beach - that's my idea of paradise.

Emilia Wickstead

I have clients from 19 to 80 years old, and the way I work means that they can take the same dress and shorten, lengthen it, remove the sleeve, adjust details - and make it their own. They get a piece that is right for them. It's a clever way of shopping in this economy.

Emilia Wickstead

I was so young when I started, my taste has changed and developed, and I've gone from being a little bit safe to trying different things.

Emilia Wickstead

The message I want to put forward for women is that I never want it to be about, 'Oh, it's a bit difficult to put that together,' or, 'She can dress that way, but I can't.' Actually, my designs are for all women, and I truly believe that you can make yourself feel wonderful in whatever you wear. That's the importance behind what I design.

I'm always doing everything backwards.

Emilia Wickstead

I love wearing interesting shoes that work well with my outfit.

My grandmother has strongly influenced my approach to beauty. She has always cared for her skin by cleansing and washing her face with warm water in the morning. At all times, she has lipstick on and her face is immaculately powdered - she follows the same routine to this day and looks great at 94.

Emilia Wickstead

I love the cleanness of Kaare Klint and Rud Rasmussen furniture, especially the wooden criss-cross under-bars of their sofas.

Emilia Wickstead

You can see that ladylike kind of dressing with a twist coming back at Dior, and I think that a lot of the fashion is following in those kinds of footsteps. It's wearable. It sits in your wardrobe forever.

Emilia Wickstead

We do have a lot of personal relationships with people who will come to our store or showroom.

Emilia Wickstead

As for design, I gravitate to traditional styles but mix it with an element of surprise. Whether it's a big sash bow in the back or an unexpected fabric, it all needs to work together.

Emilia Wickstead

I saw a niche in the market where made-to-measure wasn't being done in a modern, fresh way or in a short period of time. Traditionally, bespoke orders take a very long time, but I thought, 'Here we are with all these fashion-forward ideas - why not?'

Emilia Wickstead

I like to think that people are buying Emilia Wickstead because they want to keep it in their wardrobe as an investment piece; she's not just buying it because it's of the moment or what's currently in season.

Emilia Wickstead

From the age of 11, I was taught the importance of earning my own money. I would babysit, walk dogs, clean cars, and work at the local corner shop and the butcher's. If I wanted to buy something, I always bought it myself.

Emilia Wickstead

We're creating a brand image which didn't exist in the beginning, and I want to grow that. And in the way that the clothes and services we offer are a luxurious niche, I want to be doing that with accessories.

Emilia Wickstead

I feel far more empowered, sophisticated, and forward-thinking in flats than in high heels. Especially when I am working and hosting meetings.

Emilia Wickstead

I never get my hair done. I just do it myself.
