I really cherish having my private time and being alone and being able to decompress. It's my own version of meditating.

You can be too rich and too thin, but you can never be too well read or too curious about the world.

Fashion it's not just about learning how to draw pretty pictures, and how to sew, it's everything that makes up your life.

Trying and acheiving are two different things.

The element of fashion I'd like to see more often? Clothes that fit people well. For me it's not so much about the clothes.

Men: don't wear the untucked shirttail. It cuts you in half, which is a very bad proportion. Think of yourself as a series of thirds. So when the shirt is tucked in, you're 1/3 on top, 2/3 on the bottom.

I believe that it's very important to get to know people with whom you can have a substantive dialogue about design and its development. In addition, read everything about fashion that you can get your hands on. A palpable point of view is what makes a designer, so you need to be confident about yours.
