I'm a fan of people that have quality, that do what they do and that are not into the showbiz.

It’s easier to follow fashion than it is to have personal style.

Invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Thomas Edison I don't design clothes, I design dreams.

As a kid, I was always into clothes, but I didn't have the money to buy them. When I'd get my brothers' hand-me-downs, there was an energy in me that made me say, "I want to get my own things, to make my own statement." Somewhere along the line, that energy - coupled with my exposure, through movies, to a world I hadn't known - turned into something.

I don't like the word ['classic']. It makes you think we didn't do any work.

When you think of the blur of all the brands that are out there, the ones you believe in and the ones you remember, like Chanel and Armani, are the ones that stand for something. Fashion is about establishing an image that consumers can adapt to their own individuality. And it's an image that can change, that can evolve. It doesn't reinvent itself every two years.

If I get to the point where I don't like my clothes, I'm in big trouble.
