Bedside Quote by Dawn O'Porter
“I love to think of some of the greats like Dior, or Chanel, lying in bed at night unable to sleep because the image of a dress came creeping into their minds and they couldn't let it go, so on went the bedside light as they reached for their pen and paper to translate that vision into an image.”
