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.

I love punk, I love a lot of British Invasion bands, I love garage bands.

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 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.

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 think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere.

Fashion should be fun and accessible.
