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

You still get the sheer quality coming through but you're covered.

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.

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.

Every collection that I work on, I always think, Is this cool enough to wear to a concert?

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.

The sexiest thing about a bikini is that it leaves something to the imagination, which is the best part.
