If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.

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 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.

I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.

With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.

The nature of fashion is family. You see that at almost every house, it was owned first by a family. It wasn't owned by a bank.

I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
