That's part of why it was so amazing to work on Billy Porter's Oscar look: Billy came to my show during Fashion Week and he said to me, I'm going to the Oscar's, I need a look, and I want to wear a gown. Billy Porter attends the 91st Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood and Highland in Hollywood, California on Feb. But we just don't make someone's size our focus when we take on clients it's my job to send someone a fabulous dress, not find someone who's fabulous for a given dress.
We don't even really ask what size you are before we say yes (though we have to ask later, because if we're sending you clothes, I need to know). I like to work with people of whose work I'm a fan, or people that I love I don't think about working with people in any way other than Oh, I would love to dress you. I've been lucky in my career since the show, especially in terms of the celebrities I've been able to dress - some of whom have had difficulties with other designers. The challenge is dealing with a customer, and real women often say things like, I don't like my arms or I don't want to show my legs those are very specific directions which can make the challenge difficult but, then, it's more true to life. The reason why the "real women" challenge is always hard is not necessarily the bodies (and, this season, because the models are not all the same size, the designers are already prepared that they're going to be dressing people who are different than the average model) it's the opinions of the women who aren't there to just represent your work. Take, for instance, the "real women" challenge of previous seasons.
