My grandmother was amazing. She completely believed in me and was very encouraging. She would go to the supermarket or the butcher or wherever and tell people, 'My grandson is going to be the next Calvin Klein.'

Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them.

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

I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.

Staring up at the sky on a bright, sunny day makes me dream and gives me ideas.

I do think that in order for a company to be interesting to the investment community, there needs to be a plan; there needs to be a bigger retail footprint. There needs to be this idea - DNA, lifestyle, words I hate.

I like to take on the thing I don't like at the moment. I like to find something that looks wrong or feels off, something that I would never have done in the past, like brocade. And then all of a sudden, if we can make brocade work, then we've really done something, because I hate it. And that's just a reference. I don't actually hate brocade.
