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.

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.

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

Because I'm a designer, I'm quite good when I shop. I know what I'm looking for.

If you're a designer, there's got to be some films that you've seen that have inspired you creatively. There's no escaping that.

I'm not into street clothes. Don't understand it. I don't understand those over-exaggerated jean sizes so they hang off your back... I just don't understand it.

In Los Angeles, I'm always in Fred Segal. It's become a ritual. I have lunch and then buy lots of things I don't need. Usually tons of clothes for the kids that they grow out of in 10 seconds.
