What is masculine and what is feminine, anyway? Why should men not show that they can be fragile or seductive? I am only happy when there is no discrimination.

My only fashion school was what I saw in the newspapers and on television

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

I have always been drawn to designing fashions that are rebellious, like black leather jackets on suburban kinds, a corset dress, punk, blue jeans. I love that. Fashion changes all the time, and what is considered extreme or elegant or luxurious (or not luxurious) is changing all the time.

People are so codified - it's sad.

There are many kinds of beauty, and you can find it where you least expect.

I don't know exactly what is my impact, but I can say I am doing fashion my own way.
