Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.

Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.

I don't even know what's brilliant in fashion anymore. There are too many voices.

I had a lot of classical influences. I had classical music and opera and literature, but I also liked sleaze. And putting it together, sleaze and glamour, it just made sense to me.

I'm really conscious of not doing something just for the sake of moving forward.

Stop destroying the landscape with your outfit.

I would really think twice about being a fashion designer if I was young right now, especially being an independent fashion designer the way I started it.
