Designers must be both conscious and unconscious at the same time. Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle talent.

The clothes don’t have to suit you; you have to suit the clothes.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.

At my age, I don’t need to be a sexy bundle of muscles, thank you very much.

Forgiveness isn’t something I’m preoccupied with — turning the other cheek isn’t my trip.

No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.

If you're not ready to do a non-stop dialogue with fashion, you should do another job.
