Individual style is the correct balance of knowing who you are, what works fro you, and how to develop your own personality

From the elitism of luxury to the democracy of beauty.

Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.

You have to have doubts. I have collaborators I work with. I listen and then I decide. That's how it works.

The essence of style is a simple way of saying something complex.

When I was younger, I never laughed. I was always sour. If I look at pictures of me from the past, I never see a smile. I think it came out of my insecurity. I had a lot of complexes.

I find that fashion recently has been a little too hasty. Often times, it's put together quickly to catch the attention of the media, and I didn't want to do that.
