There is no better designer than nature

Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual

People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality.

There's beauty in anger, and anger for me is a passion.

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.

I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.

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