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 love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.

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

I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed to feel whatever I want and like whatever I want.

Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.

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.

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.
