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.

Fashion should be fun and accessible.

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

I have a big responsibility to my licenses. All my licenses draw from and take ideas from the runway.

When I look at designer books I am sometimes puzzled why they don't share their inspiration, when it's obvious somebody had such great inspiration.

I don't have the luxury of making clothes just to make an effect. It can't be something totally frivolous, because my distributors have to have a successful season, too.

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