I love the romance of Paris. I love Angelina [tearoom and pastry shop]. I always get a Mont-blanc [pastry] there.

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

I love the idea of working with women because I always feel like a man designing womenswear needs women around him to really have a sense of what they're doing.

I miss All Stars, by the way. I was just telling people: how am I going to get by until January?

I guess I accidentally became a part of history. Honestly, when you're young and you're a designer, you have a goal, but that is not the kind of goal that you even think it's possible to achieve.

My parents are very comfortable with the way that I am, and I think they've always been. Without that, I don't think that I would have ever have been able to grow into the person that I am today. I never felt like I was hiding anything from them.

My inspirations come from everywhere. It's important to look at everything and anything.
