I love when brides tell me they want to do something special and unique, but I'm not a fan of doing anything too crazy.

I love intimate details like lingerie, something like a gorgeous silk stocking or exquisite slipper.

No matter how much I try to be plain, people don't accept me, so I might as well be fabulous.

Each season I try to incorporate something new that corresponds to the timing and the trends in everyday fashion.

Living in New York, I get inspired by what young women are wearing - everything from high fashion to street fashion.

When designing a collection that is traditional, that has one specific sort of garment like a white dress, I think just being constantly attuned to trends really help.

Bridal is very much a performance - it is the one grand event in every woman's life.

Beer commercials are so patriotic: Made the American Way. What does that have to do with America? Is that what America stands for? Feeling sluggish and urinating frequently?

Playboy isn't like the downscale, male bonding, beer-swilling phenomena that is being promoted now by (some men's magazines). My whole notion was the romantic connection between male and female.

There was one day when I just didn't feel like I could do weight training after my cardio, so I didn't. You do have to know when to stop, or you can hurt yourself.

When poets go off the boil, they sound like bumble bees; when critics do, they sound like sewing machines.

What you think is the summit is only a step up
