I don't believe that clothes can start a revolution, but I do believe that fashion is often a manifestation of a sociological or political climate.

You have to love what you do to the point that you can't imagine doing anything else with your life.

I think loneliness comes with being creative, because you are obsessed with creation. And it is so satisfying that sometimes, I have noticed, I completely neglect my friends and my family, and they fall away.

I find a bath meditative and usually prepare myself for the day in this manner.

If I'm having a bad day I put on the very best thing I have. I polish my shoes, I shine everything up, because that helps me get though the day. It helps me, you know, it's in a sense armor. It says, okay, I'm a mess inside but you know what, on the outside I'm going to be pulled together, everything is okay.

Your name is a funny thing. It stands for what you're about, and everything I do is really about pride.

Every season, really, has their own chemistry.
