I love Hailey’s style. Well, I was a dancer and a skater myself, so I’m very in tune to that kind of physicality. [Hailey] has a long neck, she has a very beautiful back. The way she wears clothes is her own particular style. I knew that we weren’t doing the wedding [dress] because I knew who was doing the wedding, but I thought that maybe for the reception dress [I’d make] something [for Hailey] as I saw her, and very much the kind of dress she would wear to party in.
