I find beauty in melancholy.

It needs to connect with the earth. Things that are processed and reprocessed lose their substance.

Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive.

There’s blood beneath every layer of skin.

I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.

If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I'm not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.

For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.
