To me, you can't have style without being inspired. When I design a collection, I am inspired by so many things. The color of a flower. The shape of a butterly's wing. The juxtaposition of an old tenement building next to a shiny new skyscraper.

I'm all about exuberance. We only have one short life to live, and we shouldn't waste it being tasteful.

When someone says you can't do what you know you can do, then you can't do anything

Sometimes I'm really dressed up, and it really turns me on

Color is like food for the spirit - plus it's not addictive or fattening.

I don't like people to feel completely described by the clothes they wear of mine. I want them to feel that they're describing themselves.

A bathroom should be sterile and beautiful and functional. It should exude Japanese-style purity.
