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.

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 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.

I am a perfect being in a perfect world.

I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before, there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't.

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!

That was a time when I did love music, I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential, so immediately.
