Fashion design is so diverse. It does not have clear identities as before with Balenciaga, Chanel, Cardin, Courreges. Design is about being recognised without a label. Elegance alone is not sufficient.

When I finish with one thing very well, I start some other thing. I don't like to stop. I like to continually prove myself.

My old vintage designs are so popular now. I must have been on to something.

I wash with my own soap-wear my own perfume...got to bed on my own sheets... have my own food products. I live on me.

We undress men and women, we don't dress them any more.

The jean! The jean is the destructor. It is a dictator! It is destroying creativity! The jean must be stopped!

I can go all over the world with just three outfits: a blue blazer and gray flannel pants, a gray flannel suit, and black tie.
