Fans don't lie. They just tell you what they really think, and they see details that even people in fashion don't.

I am terrible at making food. I love eating, but I can't make anything.

My mom was my muse - she would buy me Italian 'Vogue.' I was this little fashion boy.

Let me just put it that way: I work really hard and play really hard too.

There are so many young designers who need stock, who need my push. With the commerce, the one thing I knew is that I wanted to have things that were affordable. I was always one of those customers that would go to an amazing store and be like, "Um, what's the least expensive thing?"

I was born in Japan, so for me, Uniqlo is a family brand. My granny used to wear Uniqlo. And my Italian dad wore Uniqlo. I wore Uniqlo, of course.

I think when you start talking about money, it stops the whole creative process for me.
