You see me, I wanted to be fashion designer. I became fashion designer. So I think that everything is possible.

I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it.

The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.

I am impressed by the way Annie Kevans captured the different types of beauties that have been my inspiration and my muses from my grandmother to artists like David Bowie and Boy George.

Clothes are expensive. You have to buy them, and to buy them, you have to believe in them.

I went to London a lot as a young designer because London was a major inspiration, not only for the clothes but the sense of freedom. I remember going to see a stage production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" in the mid Eighties and loving the mix of Goth and humor, and in my shows I've always liked to play jokes and have fun.

My best experiences with movies have come when I didn't know what to see.
