Working with Cate Blanchett, on and off the screen, has always been a highlight for me. She embodies the perfect combination of consummate actor and world-class fashion icon.

The goal I seek is to have people refine their style through my clothing without having them become victims of fashion.

Of course sportsmen and women are not only great role models, they are great fashion models too, as they are at the peak of physical perfection.

I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves - that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness.

I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting.

Sports will always be important in global culture, and so fashion, as a reflection of cultural trends, will always incorporate influences from sports.

I was an observer. I liked to listen rather than openly express myself. This trait is something that I've retained over the years.
