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

I didn't have a happy childhood.

Movies always fascinated me. They are an endless source of inspiration. There are countless images by great directors that made a profound impression on me, and I see film as a sublime example of teamwork.

There are always protests, whether you do something good or bad. Even if you do something beneficial, people say you do it because it's advertising.

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

If people want to change, they will. If they don't want to, it's hard to make them do so. The current interest in the environment is a good thing. The best way to make a contribution in fashion is to promote the idea that a fundamental interest in preserving the environment is itself fashionable.

Technical garments for sporting performance will, I believe, simply become more and more fit for purpose and will perform better and better. What is perhaps more interesting is how this technology will cross over into the fashion mainstream. We already see this trend in everything from footwear to outerwear.
