To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it.

Well, my whole thing is that I'm kind of like a show-off!

When I started my own business, my main reason for designing clothes was that I wanted to dress rock stars and the people who went to rock concerts. It didn't go beyond that aspiration at that point.

I always say the next big thing will happen in unexpected places - up and coming cities that aren't necessarily boom markets.

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.

I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.

I just love the way the '60s rock stars put themselves together, because they were like dandies and peacocks. They really lived out their fantasies - and dressed their fantasies.
