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.

Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it.

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

To me, beauty and makeup and color is like the finishing touch on everything.

Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.

Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other people
