Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.

The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today

Life to me is a bit of a (Brothers) Grimm fairy tale.

I was this young boy and I saw this man with his hands round my sister's neck, I was just standing there with her two children beside me... Everything I've done since then was for the purpose of making women look stronger, not naïve. And so, when everyone started saying I was a misogynist, that really freaked me out. They didn't know me. They didn't know what I had seen in my life. That was the first part of fashion that I hated - people labeling me without knowing me.

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'm mad in the front of my mind, but business-minded in the back.

You've got to know the rules to break them.
