How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about.

I think and hope I have changed the way we look at hats. They are no longer symbols of conformity but highly individual acts of rebellion. I am constantly challenging the perception of what a hat should be and what role it should play.

I love the shape of cars. They are very inspiring as modern pieces of machinery. I can't drive, but I do like the look of them.

Fashion is an illusion. It's a multibillion-pound industry that has to appear frivolous. Designers work and work and work, all night sometimes.

Fantasy hats give you the possibility to dream.

Hats are radical; only people that wear hats understand that.

In a world where every man and his dog is a designer, Alexander McQueen was the real deal. His talent was supersonic.
