Now, I can’t afford to own any of those things and I don’t wear them, but I do like to be near them. That has been a real learning curve to me. It’s how you look at it, and you can see from far away that it’s three-ply cashmere, not something you pick up in Bloomingdale’s or Macy’s. All of those little nuances make for something that is exemplary to something that’s great to something that’s just good to something that’s fair. I have learned that what makes it different really is the fabrication, the way the seams are finished, the buttonholes. It’s because of the texture, the quality of the fabrication, the difference in a color blue - all of those little details that make it something that’s worth that extra $700 for a sneaker or a pair of socks. I’m not knowledgeable about names or labels, but I do know that to people who buy these things and who have the money, these names do mean something. We tried to come up with a storyline of clothing lines. And I think we kind of hit on it fairly well. The others, even though, for me, they were hilariously funny and I just wanted them desperately, it wouldn’t be in her scope of thinking.
It had to be within the realm of things that she could obtain and she would understand. We had to pull back to the sort of Tory Burch version, Burberry version, that kind of middle-of-the-road, where a babe walking through Macy’s would look at it and say, “Oh, look at that! I wish I could have that!” And maybe she spent her entire week’s salary on it other than getting a slice of pizza. Those were too rarefied for a girl who wears little white socks and a pair of boots. So it had to be a middle-class girl’s version of a Gucci, YSL, whatever. But if you look at Yves Saint Laurent, of course, the YSL logo is brilliant and the colors are fabulous. I go and touch them all the time because I just think it’s so funny. I mean, the idea that a wallet in there’s like $3,000, because it’s got a teeny G on it or something. I was very prone to going Gucci because I just think that’s so ridiculous.
