I know amazing people in fashion who are anything but fake. They are very real and very sensitive. They are happy and sad. They are loyal friends.

What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.

I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'

I always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.

If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.

I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.

I like having the freedom to dress as I desire.
