I don't see myself as being as big of an influence as other people seem to think.

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

You don`t have the same reaction to a girl walking around the street today in a nightgown and a vintage coat and sneakers, that you did six years ago.

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.

I still appreciate individuality. Style is much more interesting than fashion, really.

I like spending time at home. In Paris, people drop by and have a bite to eat, or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there, and I walk to work sometimes.

I used to buy good shoes, now I buy good bags. They make me feel more confident.
