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.

There are always different influences each season. It could be a person, it could be a piece of furniture; it depends on what I'm obsessing about.

I think you have to be in the right place at the right time. And understand that and know when it is your time and how you react to it and how you respond to it.

Nothing's faster than the Internet.

What people look to me for is a whole look. People come to me for icing on the cake, not a basic stretch pant.

I love the fact that fashion always changes, and I hate the fact that it always changes.

You just pray that something is going to hit you like lightning. Like a movie, a book, or a photograph, a painting, something that you can riff on it and learn more about it and explore it, and just go on a journey with it. So lots of times when I choose a theme, I'll also incorporate other things that I'm doing at that period.
