I even do my ready-to-wear samples like couture.
I've worn dresses from all different price ranges, and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.
The Gucci woman can be the equestrian woman, the woman in the suit, the woman in the flowy bohemian dress, or the couture woman.
Back in the day, I was a Royce Gracie fan and a fan of Tank Abbott. It's always the different-looking guys that you want to root for. Then there were guys like Mark Coleman and Randy Couture, so for me to get in there and fight against guys like that is pretty cool.
I have a couture body.
I look for individuality in the artisans I work with for CoutureLab; a loving relationship with the product and care in the construction, along with the story behind it, make couture desirable to consumers looking for something that cannot be mass-produced.
I don't believe in naming clients to get press. I hated it when I was a couture client. If the dresses don't sell themselves, there is something wrong.
'Mad Fashion' follows the everyday workings of me and my workshop, where we make fashion, costumes, props, and couture!

I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven.
