I admire anyone with their own sense of personal style.

My job ranges from creating the initial overall theme of the season, to developing fabrics and sketching to sampling and fitting.

I've just gone through so much in my life that pulling my top up just doesn't seem like that big a deal.

But my everyday music is classic rock. It’s what I relate to the most and where my heart is.

I am proud that my collections have received such praise, and I am even more proud to share the stage with so many talented designers.

I believe there are only one or two people in the world with whom one can have a true connection. When you've been fortunate enough to marry one of those people, you are reluctant to settle for less. One can have lovers, those are easily found, but true love rarely strikes twice.

I'm hugely inspired by the '60s and the '70s. I just love the music of that time and the overall freedom of that era. I love that the idea of clashing didn't really exist. You could mix prints on prints, you could mix fabrics and colors - and it was more about the way you felt than about the label and trends. That's something that I've always gravitated towards.
