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

The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.

I used to get embarrassed about the fact I liked fashion. I still get a bit cringy.

You feel like everyone hates you if you've got a good life, now I feel maybe it's allowed because I've had my share of sadness.

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.

I'm not offended or embarrassed by the fact that I design clothes for women to wear. So when I meet women who love my clothes, it's a really good, straightforward thing. It makes me feel like I'm doing my job right.

Everyone can do simple things to make a difference, and every little bit really does count.
