I don't consider myself a fashion designer.

I don't consider myself a fashion designer.

About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.

I'd been to Saint Petersburg before, but there's been a change in people's minds. Maybe it's a fashionable thing, but people have returned to the churches. I went to a Russian Orthodox and a Catholic church - both of the queues, enormous!

I'm a doodler. It was my first job as a boy, and I still do it. At night I keep a block of paper and a pencil with a huge piece of string next to me. When I have an idea, I grab the string and just doodle.

I'm a great observer of delicate situations and women. I really like that bygone type of movement, and for a long time I had been looking for it.

I saw these girls like Sherilyn Fenn and Lara Flynn Boyle that should be working now instead of these anonymous girls. They're all the same.
