What I do is look at ancient African tribes, and the way they dress. The rituals of how they dress. . . . There's a lot of tribalism in the collections.

I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.

I'm prepared to forget about money if it affects my creativity because, remember, I started off with nothing. And I can do that again.

I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.

I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.

Fashion is self confident and fearless.

I'm about what goes through people's minds. The stuff that people don't want to admit or face up to. The shows are about what's buried in people's psyches.
