I need to feel like I'm part of something. I need to feel part of the world when I go to sleep.

I don't know if I would want to come back as anything but me. I feel really satisfied. I don't really want to be anyone else. I just feel like I've gotten everything I signed up for as me. I'm happy as me.

As a designer you have to just do whatever you want to do. The second I came to terms with that, it transformed my work.

Designers have always shown outlandish and exuberant clothes, but that hasnt always translated to the streets.

I need to feel like I'm part of something. I need to feel part of the world when I go to sleep.

The polishedness and the sophistication were what I was interested in. I mean, give me a polka dot, a floral print, a pleated dress, a big fur coat, that was always my language, and it wasn't very "in" when I was starting out, so I had a difficult time in the beginning.

I hope I am the antithesis of disposable fashion.
