What is funny is when you do a futuristic movie, you immediately get to be fashionable because you're creating something that doesn't exist.

I see the city as an organism, shaped through time by the little humans having habits and doing millions of stuff in and out of it.

The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence. I feel like people on the street today probably dress better than they did in the '50s.

Making clothes that everybody can wear is also something that stimulates me a lot, because I have this edgy, fashion-y part, but I am also totally involved with a brand that is about how people dress, and what they want. And it's a whole other look you can have on the street. It's exciting because it speaks to the other part of my job and what my passion is. A designer wants to make something useful for as many people as possible.

For a long time I have been thinking about affordable fashion - you can be disappointed when not so many people can wear your stuff.

The only shoes that look futuristic are Crocs, but they would be terrible to use in a futuristic movie.

I love to see what they [Michelle Obama and Kate Middleton] wear but I am not interested. It’s not natural. If you are a girl dressing up in the morning thinking about the whole world having a point of view on what you are wearing, it takes the pleasure out of getting dressed.
