I simply do the things that inspire me, be that snowboarding, designing clothing, or dancing.
I never dreamed of dancing on television or anything like that. It's more of things that come along that excite me and inspire me.
In Paris, we call the people who make clothing 'couturiers' - they develop new clothing items - but actually, the work of designing is to make something that works in real life.
I happen to have an expensive clothing habit, so, for me, designing clothes is a way to kill two birds with one stone.
The same time I'm designing my collection, I'm also designing my store. It has to have brand awareness, an identity. I'm also designing the racks and the hangers, and juggling a lot of things.
Most of the time, I do what I'm offered, but after I worked for it. I think I try much harder for the things that scare me and inspire me. The things that scare and inspire you are things that are different from what you did before.
I would never live in anything I design. Life and art are different. My life is very precious to me - my art is precious to me. I love designing things for other people, but I don't like designing things for myself.
I actually started snowboarding when I was 7 years old, so I felt very comfortable auditioning for a snowboarding movie, and I thought that would give me some leg up.
I'm so bad at dancing that I've actually been in two movies where the director of the film saw me dancing and thought it was so funny that in one movie they had me do it as the mental dancing of a real simple person. The other one was, like, to-be-laughed-at dancing. That's how bad my dancing is.
I've never really seen too much difference between writing or making visual art or designing furniture or clothing. It's still my brain - I'm just using different parts of it for different things.
Love can be the only answer. But snowboarding also works for me. Because I love snowboarding!
My motivation is not to try to inspire, but rather to do things that inspire me and hopefully that will spread to others.
Designing comes easy and quickly to me. I don't need to spend hours to complete an X amount of work for me. I feel designing is in me.
When I was designing my clothing line, I would find a print that I love and then decide what to make with it.
Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.
I have never followed fashion. What is fashion to me? I just think of things that inspire me, that inspire women, and I design that way.
Well, for me, it's never just been fashion designing. It's the creative challenge that keeps me going be it for my label, styling projects or interior designing.
