My cats are really sassy and sophisticated, but most importantly, they are picky.

The worst thing is to be a designer and create work that isn't honest. You have to be honest. Otherwise, you'll always be a reaction to what other people do and you'll always be one step behind.

Actually, I'm probably 99-and-a-half percent plastic now.

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

In American culture you leave home at 18. In the Asian culture, your parents don't really want you to leave home. So my parents just thought I was going to be one of those kids. I was like, "I'm never going to make a living at whatever I do." I just liked pretty things.

You're always in the mode of creating the next season. It's so fast, and in two months, the collection you just did is already old, and it's always next, next, next.
