What I most identify with is effortless fashion, looking as if someone's not put a lot of effort into their look.

I didn't want women to walk out of the dressing rooms feeling depressed and wanting a cocktail.

The thing about fashion - it's like ducks going quack, quack quack. It's being dictated from above, and it just makes me want to rebel against it.

It's important to be willing to make mistakes. The worst thing that can happen is you become memorable.

I have this system where if I buy three or four new things, I give away three or four things. Sometimes, it's a very painful system, but shopping is even better when you know that someone else who needs it will be getting. Keep the clothing karma going, I say.

Embrace what you don't know, especially in the beginning, because what you don't know can become your greatest asset. It ensures that you will absolutely be doing things different from everybody else.

Don't be intimidated by what you don't know.
