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

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

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

I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.

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

Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way.

I am an avid follower of the news, and sometimes you just can't take any more war, any more disasters, and you want to remind yourself there's beauty in the world. I wanted to show a more poetic side to my work. It was all about... a feeling of sadness, but in a cinematic kind of way. I find beauty in melancholy.
