I love to design for women, it's really open and very free. I always think of my friends. I think of both fictitious characters, real people from the past and the present. I am not a woman, but I find women so beautiful and so fascinating.

I think there is something about luxury - it's not something people need, but it's what they want. It really pulls at their heart.

Anyone who thinks designers don't talk to editors, and editors don't talk to stores doesn't know what's happening...It's called crossover, sampling all references in music, art and fashion.

I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before, there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't.

I don't find clothes sexy at all. I find people sexy.

You can never please everyone, and I think it's best not to.

I'm a designer. I make clothes and bags and shoes. I have a job that involves making creative choices, but I'm not a divinely inspired human being like an artist!
