What's interesting about fashion is it's a world, and I think that's what I've done - I've made a contribution and I think I've built a world. The world is beyond just clothes. Taste and style is beyond clothes. It's in food; it's in quality.

Every time I design clothes, I'm making a movie.

Fashion is transient, trends come and go. I believe in style, not fashion.

I didn't have a vision as in, This is where I'm going. I had a vision as in, "This is what I love to do."

I never went to fashion school. I didn't know what a designer was. I knew I had something, but I didn't know what it was. And it could just have easily been nothing.

I believe in style, not fashion.

I am not looking like Armani today and somebody else tomorrow. I look like Ralph Lauren. And my goal is to constantly move in fashion and move in style without giving up what I am.
