You have such a celebrity following from Angelina Jolie to Oprah. Do you still get giddy when you see a star in something you’ve created? What happens when you see someone on the street wearing your designs?
"Totally! It never gets old. And I get so excited when I see someone on the street in Rachel Pally. My husband, my parents, and I have all been known to go up to strangers and tell them. We were in Greece for our honeymoon, and when I saw a girl wearing one of my dresses, Kevin (my hubby) went running back to tell her. We ended up taking a picture together. It was so cool. Halfway around the world!"

Is there one celebrity you think wears your designs particularly well?
"Beyoncé launched her blog last month and posted a photo of herself wearing our classic long-sleeve wrap dress. She was pregnant and the dress hugged her body in all the right places. She looked absolutely amazing — glowing, sexy, and confident. The best part about this dress is that she can still wear it post-baby!"
