“For me, creating a new collection is always a painful process until it starts emerging. Once it comes, it’s all worth it. The biggest difference from being pregnant is that the fashion cravings are not the healthy ones – white wine, cigarettes. I go through many sleepless nights and can’t think straight. And sometimes my temperament seems irrational. But at least in the end, everything comes back to the right place.” -Sophie Theallet
“Right now, I’m obsessed with Olive’s giant chocolate chip cookies. For me the collection feels like a child all grown up and ready to go on its own way into the real world. Like sending your child off to college. Not that I know what that feels like.” -Bensoni co-designer Sonia Yoon
“Due to the lack of time and sleep, we tend to eat a lot of takeout and junk food under the guise of treating ourselves for all the hard work we’re doing. We allow ourselves to eat anything guilt-free. Greasy Reuben [sandwiches] from the diner or a lumberjack breakfast always work well to calm those cravings.” -Costello Tagliapietra duo Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra
