The really great thing about my shoe store is that there's not one dead animal in it.

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

For me, women's ski wear has always been black and, again, not as feminine or sexy as I think it could look while still having the technology there.

The consumption of animals - whether you're wearing them or eating them - is extraordinarily damaging to the planet. There are over a billion animals killed a year for food, half of which don't even get eaten. And there's over 50 million animals killed just for fashion.

We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.

I think the moment that I'm very proud of is building a business without using animals. And, hopefully, changing people's perception of how you can do luxury fashion.

At the end of the day I separate things; my life is my life and my work is my work.
