I’ve never wanted to be called an artist. The term itself seems old-fashioned. It’s a term that does not relate to modern times. And it’s too confining. What I love about fashion is its accessibility and its democracy. Everyone wears it, and everyone relates to it.

What you wear represents you to the world, especially now, when communication between people is so fast. Fashion is a universal language that everyone understands.

I don't want to say temporary, because temporary is such a trendy word.

I was a feminist in the Sixties, and can you imagine? The worst thing I could have done was to be in fashion. It was the most uncomfortable position.

Men are always much more dignified than most women.

The power of the media is really the only new issue in the last 50 years, probably.

If you ask, do you like strong men or weak men, I'd say, I like who I like.
