I Hope People Will Put Aside Tom

I Told Myself That I Would Not Come Back To Women's Fashion Until I Felt I Had Something New To Say. I Feel That Fashion Has Become Too Serious And That The Actual Customer's Needs Have Not Really Been Addressed. Fashion Needs To Make One Happy. It Is A Luxury And Should Enhance One's Quality Of Life.

I Went Through Some Tough Times Because If You're Used To Having A Voice In Contemporary Culture And All Of Sudden, You Don't Have That Voice, You Don't Have That Outlet. I Didn't Appreciate That. I Didn't Understand How Important That Was To Me. And All Of A Sudden, After Investing All This Time And Energy, I Had No Identity. I Didn't Know Who I Was. I Didn't Know What I Had To Say. I Didn't Have A Way To Say It. It Was Very Painful.

You Can't Fake Anything. If You're Honest And True And You Love Something, And You Put That Energy Into It, People Can Usually Feel It On The Other Side.

It's Funny, Our Beauty Standard Has Become Harder And Tougher Because We Live In A Tough Age. I Don't Think Anyone Wants To Walk Down The Street And Feel Vulnerable. You Want To Walk Down The Street And Feel Like You're In Control.

Style. People Talk About It Being Stylish And Beautiful, That's At The Service Of The Story. Style For Me Means Nothing Without Substance And There Are Moments And Things About The Film That Are Stylish But Hopefully At The Service Of The Story.
