It's almost like putting armor on a woman. It's a very psychological way of dressing.

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

I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.

I use things that people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex; things we all think about, but don’t bring to the forefront. But I do and I force them to watch it

It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.

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.

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