Both my partner and I did not get into cooking so that we could wear ugly chef's coats and stuff. We dress sexy in the kitchen.

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.

I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable.

I think something happens with age. And I find this really a lot in what I read from certain art critics: For people who are all about change-people who are supposed to be intellectually and culturally drawn to the idea of change and how the voice of a creative person affects the world on a bigger scale than just the canvas-I would expect a person in that position to have that open mind. It's only a sign of age that they become so locked in their own rules that they forget that this is what it's all about.

I create the concept, which for me is about deciding upon the right girl and the right 'spirit', and thinking of all the things that visually describe her. It's just like putting together a fashion show; for me, that starts with the spirit and the girls as well.

Yes, I always remember my dad's, mom's and my grandma's perfumes.

I'd like to be invisible. To be anonymous and see things for what they really are. The truth may be painful but it's probably useful!
