I really think that creating clothes and fashion has to be a statement about how we live and where we live and what's happening in the world.

Dreams are never just dreams, they are reality waiting to happen.

I always drew dresses. I remember loving Richard Avedon's early Versace campaigns. I used to plaster my whole walls with them when I was a kid.

Whenever I pick up a jacket and it's heavy, I think, 'Oh, I don't want to wear that.'

I wasn't the trendiest girl at college.

There'll always be a McQueen woman. She's strong, powerful & when she puts a McQueen jacket on, she feels different.

I think maybe that as time goes by there will be more newness but because I was part of what it was before it's not like coming into a house and saying it's all about me. I don't feel like that. It really is all about McQueen and the things that he was trying to say and about moving that forward, making it relevant, making it desirable, making it into what people want to wear.
