Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be.

I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing.

It's so weird how scary it is at the beginning of rehab, and then you bond with the people, and it's really an amazing experience. It is impossible to do it on your own, and it's good to ask for help when we need it.

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'm not a model, so the idea of modelling a suit or clothes is weird in itself.

It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

It just seemed too weird to me. I don't know, maybe they were smoking a joint in the car downstairs from their parents' apartment. I had to go that far to put together a scenario of how they could have possibly recognized me.
