I'm not an interior designer - I'm a normal working mum who wants her house to look good and doesn't need a man to do it for her.
I love to design. I am a commercial fashion designer. I always design jackets with two sleeves. I don't design jackets with three sleeves, or the layers and layers come off like little dolls from Russia. Fashion for me is a creative endeavor, but it is not art for me.
It's been a bit tricky trying to establish a 'designer' profile and not a designer-cum-girl-around-town.
I wanted to be a set designer when I was young.
While choosing a fashion show, I take into consideration the designer and the collection. Then only I said yes to do a show.
A good designer has technical knowledge - don't treat her like someone who's there to decide whether something should be pink or orange.
As a designer, you have to solve a lot of problems. Even though people are wearing clothes that are supposed to look beautiful, they'll have to do all kinds of things.
I'm not an interior decorator; I'm a designer, and that includes the architecture. The package must be strong and controlled, the rooms aligned, and the windows positioned to make sense with the furniture. Fluff it up, and you've got big trouble.
After all, it's very important for any big-name designer to have a couture range. I leave the ready-to-wear to my partner and team.
Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.
Ursula Nordstrom was famous for finding artists in unlikely places. Maurice Sendak was a window designer, and she just came across one of his windows. Everyone was looking to find a talent.
I sit, I think, I make some drawings. As a designer, you cannot retire totally.
I wouldn't say there is one specific designer I rock. It's more of the look of the shirt and what occasion and where I'm wearing it to.
I am by trade a designer, and I did Fine Art for my degree.
Partnering with Rent the Runway's innovative model, combined with their affinity amongst millennials, provides an exciting opportunity for us. Together, we're helping the next generation of luxury consumers discover and fall in love with designer fashion.

It is horrible to say, but I was stigmatized by being a bridal designer for a long time. I am amazed I have been able to move beyond it. I had really all but given up trying, but I did it because it was my lifelong dream.
Halston was one of the hardest-working designers I have come across. The way he cut, moulded, manipulated and draped fabric was inspiring. I was submerged into the Halston subculture alongside Andy Warhol, Liza Minnelli, Elizabeth Taylor and Truman Capote. They shaped who I have become as a designer.
You could be an 18-year-old girl in Tokyo wondering how you could ever break into fashion or beauty, so you follow your favourite designer or editor, see what their day comprises, where they go, who they meet, how they do it... If I were setting up my own label today, I would definitely do it through Instagram.

I don't look at myself as a designer; I'm focused on music.
I'm an American designer. It's important to riff on that. I remember, when my mom and I first came to the States, she was so shocked that everyone was so dressed down in sandals and shorts.

There was no drive because I wanted to become a great designer... I had two small children and a mother, and we all had to eat. That's the drive I had.
When a designer creates, he looks at the world around him.
Every game designer should make one explicitly world-changing game. Lawyers do pro bono work, why can't we?
It even sounds stupid to hear myself say the first costume designer I worked with was Catherine Martin, and she won an Oscar for it, but that was just my very lucky draw of roll of the dice.

A designer is like a doctor for a woman. He has a specific job, and if he is doing it well, he will have the gratitude of the woman for the rest of his life.
Stella McCartney, not only is she a designer, she is a mother of four, and she lives for practicality. She understands what a woman needs to wear to work and what a woman needs to wear when it's time to go out and put on the Ritz!
I was a baby when I began, but I knew exactly what I wanted to wear myself. I became a jewelry designer because I knew how to do something with a pencil and sketch my ideas.
If one lazily thinks of what a fashion designer might do if he's going to conquer cinema next, it would be taking the opportunity to display his fashion sensibilities.
I have been an art director, a book designer, a book-jacket designer and an interior designer.
As a designer, I think you just have to make sure you know what you want and stay true to it. You need to have conviction and really just want to make people think in regards to doing interesting things.
