I was a fat child; I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.

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

When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.

The problem with couture is not designers; it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.

Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?

I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.

I am very much a people person.
