Black is not as good as Purple.

Fashion is a function of lifestyle, and style a function of quality, integrity and timelessness.

The clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do.

Personal style is about a sense of yourself, a sense of what you believe in and wearing what you like.

I think the people who work with me are people who love style themselves. I'm leaving the office and they're still working. They're passionate.

Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It's not about brands. It's about something else that comes from within you.

I have always been inspired by the dream of America-families in the country, weathered trucks and farmhouses; sailing off the coast of Maine; following dirt roads in an old wood-paneled station wagon; a convertible filled with young college kids sporting crew cuts and sweatshirts and frayed sneakers.
