I'm not good at hiding my feelings. I'm also not good at lying. I'm very open about everything.

I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.

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!

Without any kind of real ego on my part, I just thought, I'm going to approach the people I admire and see if they want to do something together.

To me, clothing is a form of self-expression - there are hints about who you are in what you wear.

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.

Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door, a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people, other artists and I work with a great creative design team.
