I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.

There's nothing fashionable about a dead animal that has been cruelly killed just because some people think it looks cool to wear.

I´m a real believer that just doing a little something is a lot better than doing a lot of nothing.

I confess to being a frustrated musician.

People work better when they are afforded to be themselves

People think I'm strong, but actually I wanted to crawl away. I thought, I'm going to live in the country with my horse and I'll get a nine-to-five; I don't need this.

I can honestly say this industry hasn't made me neurotic about my looks, except maybe my weight. I hope my clothes kind of reflect that. They're meant to make you feel good.
