Evenjust Draping News Today

My fashion has not been limited to two—dimensional sketches, or evenjust draping, its been about story, emotion, its been about, perhaps, romance, in many ways, and, i think, a lot of daring. i think ive been fairly fearless. and thatjust, sort of having been an athlete, and part of having been a woman, i think, who has lived my life, i think on my own terms, pretty much. you consider yourself very much a feminist? i am a realfeminist, from way back when it was called feminism. i think it came...

How do you deal with failure? i think most of my life has been defined by failure. i mean, i was a very serious elite athlete, and i devoted 16 years of my life to trying to qualify in the olympics as a skater. and never quite made the cut. so, for me, when i saw that my career was going nowhere, i really had a nervous breakdown. i was lost. and fashion was the thing that really took the place for me of skating, it really gave me all those components, you know, shows, and music, and editing, and...

Now more than ever? i think we have always thought about it. i dont think it was ever a subject we could tackle as an industry, globally, because by its very demand for speed and delivery, that, by its very definition, makes sustainability very difficult on every level, and then factor in whats going on with the planet, and whats going on with the techniques needed to develop fabric. now that we are working with fabrics like plastics and moulded rubber and things like that, that we take them for...

You have to find your own relevancy and your own reason and your own hopes and your own happiness and your own desire for how you are going to spend the rest of your life. these are not small issues. at every step of the way, ageism today is only associated with people who are chronologically at a certain age — a number. its a number. but in many cases, i see people doing their very best work because they have the confidence. whenever i feel like im lost before a collection, i tell myself this...

About ageing in that way, maybe it is, in a way, better. maybe, i dont know, it is healthier, or maybe its, i dont know, a way of dealing with ageing that is productive, if that makes any sense. so, i always said that vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, but work. work is the magic elixir, it really is. it keeps your mind occupied. and when your mind is occupied, i think everything else follows. well, you are certainly changing the perspective of what it means to be 72, and how age influences... well...

Serious elite athlete, and i devoted 16 years of my life to trying to qualify in the olympics as a skater. and never quite made the cut. so, for me, when i saw that my career was going nowhere, i really had a nervous breakdown. i was lost. and fashion was the thing that really took the place for me of skating, it really gave me all those components, you know, shows, and music, and editing, and design and creativity, and storytelling, all the things i loved about skating, i took with me into fash...

I think it speaks to men. ageism has always existed. i see it in a child, who wants — in my goddaughter, val. i see it that she wants to do more, she wants to be an adult. "why cant i go out with you guys for dinner? "why cant i wear what i want to wear? "why cant i?" "because you cant, because mommy says no." i see what a lot of my godchildren are going through, and my own daughters. i see how hard it is, so there is ageism there. "youre not old enough. "youre not old enough to be ceo. "youre...

Went into outer space — and people who arent even astronauts can go? civilians? i think its really exciting, and it, too, will affect how we dress. once again, im going to say it — lifestyle, possibilities, unlimited boundaries — that will affect fashion. well, you have certainly lived through some amazing milestones, and i think what has been so interesting during this pandemic is people really getting to see a lot of your personality on social media. yes, maybe too much actually! and com...

I see that she wants to do more, she wants to be an adult. "why cant i go out with you guys for dinner, why cant i wear what i want to wear, why cant i?" because you cant, because mommy says no. i see what a lot of my godchildren are going through, and my own daughters. i see how hard it is, so there is ageism there. "you are not old enough, you are not old enough to be ceo, you are not experienced enough, you dont have enough knowledge". so there is ageism there. there is always an ageism somew...

Age, a number. it is a number. but in many cases, i see people doing their very best work, because they have the confidence. whenever i feel like im lost before a collection, i tell myself this, even today. "well, ive been here before. this is not my first time at the rodeo". and ive come through. so i talk myself into the fact that i can do this. and i know that may sound odd at my stage of my career, but experience stands for a lot, too. knowledge, wisdom, patience, care. these things... you g...
