The Louis Vuitton woman is more about a quality - a quality within some women that needs to come forward, to be noticed and recognised.

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

I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.

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.

You can go to Graff and buy a diamond that's flawless. You aren't going to be able to buy the same diamond at Fortunoff, but it's still a diamond you can enjoy. If fashion can allow you to have the Chanel mystique through a lipstick, then why shouldn't art allow you to have that through a sweatshirt that says 'Cremaster' on it?

I guess when I look over my shoulder at other designers, I feel like people are so definitive. It's so clear to me what their aesthetic is, what they're projecting. And I look at my own work and I think, Who could ever decipher what the hell is going on?

Fashion isn't a necessity. It pulls at your heart. It's a whim. You don't need it. You want it.
