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.

I always wanted to be a fashion designer so I just have to remember that as long as I'm doing it I'm living the dream.

I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.

Fashion isn't a necessity. It pulls at your heart. It's a whim. You don't need it. You want it.

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.

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'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!
