You have to like the present; if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.

I’m like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road. I’m here for two days in New York; I leave in the morning early. I come back for Anna Wintour’s party at the Met, then again at the end of May for a prize I get from the Gordon Parks Foundation.

I am a fashion person, and fashion is not only about clothes - it's about all kinds of change

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

I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy

Fashion is what people wear not only what you see on the Runway

Trendy is the last stage before tacky.
