I think in reality, today, if you use the same tools as everyone else, you kind of build the same products.

Conventional turbines only work up to 200 feet, but capturing a small fraction of the global wind energy at higher altitudes could be sufficient to supply the current energy needs of the globe.

In many respects, designing heirloom products means saying no to designing consumer crap that you know will not last very long.

I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I have a garden, and I collect different heirloom seeds from different neighbors.
