I would love to take an old space and restore it to exactly the way I want it. Like an old factory, just something with great bones and lots of character. I'd take an old house and flip it into something very modern inside, or the other way around.

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

What I was interested in wasn't popular and young, but I never really deviated from doing it. I just decided that I was going to go full force into exactly what I wanted. I think there's a certain comfort that comes with age and experience, and when I got that, I think my work got better.

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

This is the hardest thing I've ever done, being in fashion business, because that's what it is at the end of the day, a business, and you have to make sure it works.

I worked 10 years as a toy designer before I started my career as a fashion designer. It's something I just fell into and really liked.

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