You know that scenario where roses are red, leaves are green, I love arguing that. ‘Why should they be?’. I hate rules and formulas. That’s so boring. It’s the opposite of creativity. Rules are ridiculous things that are meant to be broken.

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

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

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

A person carries off the hat. Hats are about emotion. It is all about how it makes you feel.

I particularly like to travel for work because you see a completely different side of the country you're visiting.

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