As far back as I can remember, I had an interest in fashion. I used to go to sleepaway camp, and they'd provide a list of things that you had to bring, and I always wanted to be a bit more creative than the list allowed. Like, if they required chinos, I wanted to hand-paint them.

The thing I most love and hate about fashion is that it changes all the time. But I don't think I or anyone else can singlehandedly get rid of hooker style. Popular taste isn't great by definition. It's just popular.

Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.

I believe that anything can be for men or women. I mean, I've worn a lace dress before!

I empathize with women in their high heels so I'll be there in my kilt and T-shirt and I'll walk around all day just to prove that if I can wear the shoes for 36 hours then certainly our customer can wear them.

Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them.

Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.
