Its so boring to just hire a fancy caterer and have them do everything.

When I was on my honeymoon, I lost use of my right arm and right leg, and that's when we knew something was wrong. I was not totally paralyzed, but there was loss of sensation and feeling. The doctor on the ship could feel that my right side was weaker. They told me something was going on, but that it was not a medical emergency and that it didn't matter if I went off the boat that day or in four days.

She wore this scarf dress of mine and we got about 1,000 calls for it in the next week.

The next day my right leg was affected, so I went back down. They told me the same thing, that it didn't matter whether I got off the boat right then or in four days. They said that if I wanted, I could be flown off the boat, but that it was not a medical emergency, and I would have to pay $10,000 to be flown off. I was stuck on the boat four days.

I've done a lot of color, and I've gone further with geometric prints, ... I went to a much more naive hand, and some of them were done with construction paper and Spiralgraphs, almost like a child would do them.

It's really a lot of fun. But every season it seems that I come up with new silhouette ideas that seem to take hold and have a lot of longevity.

I'm not showing any black, ... All of the colors are orange, you know, roses. There's a beautiful shade of aqua this year, and a really nice lilac, a deep lilac.

I call (it) pistachio and the only sort of dark color in the collection is indigo but it's a really rich blue. I don't think you always want to wear pastels for evening. Most of the collection is sort of pale.
