A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes a lot of hard work.

If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it well. That's just my character, that's just the way it is with me.

I have my fashion empire to build.

Shirt collars are very important to me. Putting a very soft shirt collar with a formal suit doesn't work for me at all.

Style is an extension of yourself. My approach is to enhance the personality of the wearer, so he has his own voice

I'm ready to do womenswear. You've always got to be inspired by something new - women have so much more shape and I'm about finding what to engineer around those shapes.

When I started, department stores were either very fashion, or very tailored, so the two never mixed. I mixed it, and they said you're too tailored for fashion and too fashion for tailoring. So I had to move the market. So that's what I did.
