I really do believe that art changes the landscape of the world.

Sometimes I miss hamburgers, I should say that. I miss the tuna pizzas at Mercer Kitchen.

Any opportunity to adorn oneself is human, and accessories are an easy way to do it.

When you design a dress you ask yourself, would woman like it or no. It's much more of a creative process, not a research or trying to make somethings that sells or appeals. I hope that it will appeal to somebody, but it isn't what drives me.

I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.

But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.

A lot of models achieve that kind of iconic position by working primarily with one photographer.
