The minute it gets to a runway, you're tempted to do some high jinks. I don't want to show something I won't produce. I want people to wear the clothes I show.

When you try on something, you have to ask yourself, 'How many ways could I wear this? Could I wear it to work? To dinner or drinks? Will it span the seasons' If you have to think too hard about those questions, then skip it.

Give me Caviar Kaspia and give me a hamburger. I love the two extremes.

Put on a trench, you're suddenly Audrey Hepburn walking along the Seine.

I'm definitely curious. I love pop culture. I'm glued to it. I can watch garbage TV, but then I can also watch great theater.

I can sketch up a storm, and I'm very involved in how clothes are constructed, but I have a short attention span.

I grew up in a family of people who were obsessed with fashion.
