I treat clothing or a piece of jewelry like it was a piece of art.

Fantasy appeals to me and can be very much reflected in my dress - but then, each day is different. Not every day is a magical day.

But things don't necessarily have to be that expensive to be good. As long as they are expensive enough to last.

I don't approach fashion; fashion approaches me!

My basic mathematics is rather weak, so when some of the theories are broken into equations, I get rather lost.

I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.

Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics. At the end of the Roman era, there was this whole move against togas, because that was the signifier of the Roman Empire. In the same way, the '60s were a reaction against the '50s and so on. But now we've been feeding on a sort of cadaver. At the moment, we're just endlessly recycling the past.
