It is difficult to talk about fashion in the abstract, without a human body before my eyes, without drawings, without a choice of fabric - without a practical or visual reality. I believe in comfort. If you don't feel comfortable in your clothes, it's hard to think of anything else. Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be. The difference between style and fashion is quality. What I hate is nasty, ugly people.

Fashion fades, only style remains the same. Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter. Men don't want another man to look at their woman because they don't know how to handle it. Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be. I don't care about money. I really don't care. I just want to do what I do.


In the Middle of Nowhere

Vanity is the healthiest thing in life. It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world. It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge. We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great. I truly believe that philanthropy and commerce can work together.

Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice. Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool.
