I think what I often see is that people are frightened about fashion. Because it scares them or makes them feel insecure, so they just put it down. On the whole people that may say the mean things about our world I think that’s usually because they feel, in some ways, excluded or, you know, not a part of ‘the cool group’ so as a result they just mock it.

I surround myself with a talented group of people that are opinionated and interesting. I try to remain very open to what others have to say.

There's always a way to wear fur.

It's important for young women and men coming out of the fashion schools to think seriously before starting their own collections.

They (fashion editors) have always been our secret weapon.

In the end I do respond to my own instincts. Sometimes they're successful, and obviously sometimes they're not. But you have to, I think, remain true to what you believe in.

It's the mishaps that make it fun, and brings you the surprise.
