Let's be honest - look what Hollywood at 18 is.

People always think that designers hate each other. And we're certainly a competitive lot, but we also enjoy each other's company. No one else knows what you're going through other than another designer.

I think to be empathetic is the greatest gift you can have as a designer. Hopefully, people will look at me and say, 'He really loved women.'

My legacy would be that you don't have to give up anything. You can be chic but have a sense of humor, you can be sexy but comfortable, you can be timeless but fresh.

Fashion is like food! Some people like sushi, others think hamburgers are divine! People like different things!

I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?

I think a lot of women have too many mini skirts in their closets.
