American fashion designers remember their mothers. One thing I took from my mother was that she always wore Chanel No. 5, and that’s still the only one I’ll wear today. I remember watching her get ready and always wanted her to put more makeup on. She had this one trench coat and it had this snakeskin belt, and she would wear it as a dress and she looked so confident and strong in it. Sometimes people who are as kind as her aren’t considered strong, and that is part of how I design for women today, to make women look confident, smart and strong without giving up any femininity for that.
