Before I had kids, I was out every night of the week.

I want to make clothes that are beautiful of course, but also clothes that are interesting and considered and intelligent and not out of place.

I suppose I felt guilty not to be doing something more important, more political. So in a way I am trying to use the company for these other activities.

I remember being mad about having pink and red shoes. I gew up envying other girls' pink and red shoes.

The trouble is, most people are not so generous. Everybody wants love for themselves. I hear this all the time from the women I work with. I hear them say, "I want, I want." I never hear them saying what they want to give.

I like to be useful to people.

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.
