The city [ LA] is kind of going through an interesting transition; sort of renaissance time where there is so much going on here. I think it's really exciting to be here.

A little jewellery on a man is OK, although he should never wear too much. Every man should always have a great watch.

It doesn't matter what you are wearing-if you have good shoes and a good bag, you'll look right.

When someone asks about a career in fashion, I say start at the bottom. If you want to start a business, you have to know it from the ground up.

My mother and I never got along, not even when I was a child.

I wear Sweet Revenge, the legging boots, a lot particularly in the winter.

I had to put the company through a reorg, raise a new round of financing, and sort of press the restart button. But my feeling was that I wasn't going to be bullied. I wasn't going to let them take me down. I had to pull myself together and move forward.
