I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.

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

People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.

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

The reason I'm patriotic about Scotland is because I think it's been dealt a really hard hand. It's marketed the world over as . . . haggis . . . bagpipes. But no one ever puts anything back into it.

There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.
