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.

Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day.

I am impressed with America's capacity for change, and their ability to bring someone as inspirational as Barack Obama into the White House.

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

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

Through fashion I have shown my interpretation of the competitive spirit by dressing sportsmen and women, choosing to work with both those who are among the world's most renowned athletes and also those who are yet to achieve fame in the arena of sport.

I've always worked. I have always been too responsible. But I don't know how to live any other way. I think that this discipline was also demanded of me by my work.
