I hate clothes that look saleable. I love when they look desirable.

The greatest concubines in history knew that everything revealed with nothing concealed is a bore.

When I don't have any ideas, I pick up fabric and start working with it and something happens.

I tell women not to believe everything they read about fashion.

Clothes should be as interesting on the inside as on the outside. Even if you enjoy it totally alone, it's important.

I come in. I'm going to sketch, I'm going to drape, I don't know what I'm going to do.

Fashion is treated too much as news rather than what it is, what it does and how it performs.
