gptkbp:famousQuote |
“I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.”
“I want to be the one who makes the clothes that people want to wear.” “I’m not interested in being a celebrity. I’m interested in being a designer.” “I think of myself as a storyteller.” “Fashion_should_be_a_form_of_escapism,_and_not_a_form_of_imprisonment.” |
