The man of the millennium is much more liberated than the man of the '90s.

The first thing I do each morning is get out of bed and give my dog, Audrey, a hug. She's a Jack Russell. I think having an animal is a wonderful thing, particularly dogs. They are great levelers, there's no nonsense with them, and they just want simple affection.

The suit does not represent the businessman anymore. Nor does the loud shirt represent the rock star. The same man can now wear both.

When I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality.

Elegance is always in style for men. There are all different kinds of elegance. It can be silk, it can be a T-shirt.

When my mother did fittings for her clients, I was hiding, looking at these beautiful ladies try on these fantastic clothes. I was dreaming as a small child to try these clothes on myself.

Something has to change in the world. Without change, young people will have no future.
