There’s blood beneath every layer of skin.

I think there is beauty in everything.

I think sometimes I might scare the editors, because they might feel they're getting old and they're not understanding it. The problem lies on their side of the fence, not mine. I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era.

There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company.

There is no better designer than nature

I am a melancholy type of person.

Some designers are so airy-fairy people can't connect with them. I hope people can relate to me, to a normal person who just happens to be a fashion designer, that people can take me as they find me. It's not the designer's job to care about what people think. Whatever else I've done, I've never tried to be something that I'm not.
