My whole life, I've always had to be surrounded by creative things. I find it relaxing to be in touch with creations by other people.

I have so much respect for John [Galliano]s technical skill and the fantasy, its just something that I dont find relevant now, especially when it restricts a woman, because in every other area they have so much freedom.

I'm a designer, and for me, things are always evolving, and such evolution is necessary.

Fashion has a long interest in collaborative situations.

Camouflage is about much more than concealment and going unnoticed. There's a whole game involved between revealing and hiding.

I'm shy, but not on a one-to-one basis. Over the years, I have become acclimatised to a bit of publicity.

In fashion, general people will look to the piece itself. [Some designers] concentrate on, 'How can I make this seam look special?' or 'What am I going to do with that button so it looks interesting?' I am not interested in that. At the moment, I am more interested in the shape and the form. I have a big desire to make clothes without defining them.
