If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing.

For me, art is about learning and about living with people. It's alive.

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.

I would say that clothes are an excuse for living in the world.

If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing. In fact, most of my work is concerned with destroying—or at least deconstructing—conventional ideas of beauty, of the generic appeal of the beautiful, glamorous, bourgeois woman. Fashion fosters clichés of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.

I respect my work. But also I think it's very superficial.

People ask me how can I be stylish, how can I be elegant and what can I wear? My only answer is study! You have to learn.
