When I started coming to do shows in New York, New York had a pretty electric energy then. It was the early-nineties, and there was a lot of really fun theatrical types that were designing, and so the runway kind of became this stage for all of these mega model personalities to flaunt their stuff.

I find myself dreaming of doing normal things - like staying home and washing dishes.

Compost makes houseplants very happy.

My favorite New York memory is that blizzard in '96. I get chills thinking about it. It's my favorite time here - call me crazy. I'm from Canada, and it's very cold up there.

My parents wished peace upon their firstborn child.

Clothes should just be like a beautiful setting for a jewel: They should offset you.

You don't learn style from watching people on a runway. Fashion happens every morning when you wake up.
