Georgina Chapman

"I think it's very empowering to be able to have a career and to be a mother. It gives you an amazing sense of self."

"What an amazing opportunity to do something like direct a movie and step out of your creative comfort zone and yet do something that is also so familiar at the same time. I was also just excited to have the chance to direct, which I may never get to do again."

"It's funny, because I sometimes feel that I'm most creative when I'm pregnant."

"I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer."

"One of my most sentimental items is my grandmother's engagement ring that my mom gave me a few years ago. It's a Victorian-style setting that's closed in the back, so it doesn't sparkle the way diamonds do now. I wear it as a pendant."

"My great-grandfather was in the army in India, and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic."
