When a sketch comes into this three-dimensional form and everybody contributes, it's really fantastic.

I drape a lot. I cut. I have to touch. For me, it's almost impossible to start without that.

My parents had a factory, so I was linked to the textile and fashion industry.

I never liked sleeping; I always think I am missing something.

I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.

I’ve reached a certain age where I love to work. I could just live here [at the studio].

It's so hard to actually find that niche for yourself. It's like when Nicolas Ghesquiére found Balenciaga. I hate to sound esoteric, but there is something about a house that leads you to that one chair, that one corner, where you just sit and feel comfortable. I feel very comfortable at Calvin Klein. My name is associated with it enough, and we have a fantastic team here.
