I told myself that I would not come back to women's fashion until I felt I had something new to say. I feel that fashion has become too serious and that the actual customer's needs have not really been addressed. Fashion needs to make one happy. It is a luxury and should enhance one's quality of life.

A lot of people think a high armhole is restrictive, but it gives you total movement because it's cut right up to your arm.

We do objectify women in our culture. We're starting to objectify men a little bit more. And there is nothing wrong with that. Objectify maybe is the wrong word. Celebrate their bodies and use beautiful men, beautiful women as a tool to get your attention and to sell things. But no-one - we're very, very uncomfortable in our culture with looking at a naked man. You know, naked women are everywhere, selling everything. And again, this is quite sexist. But naked men make us nervous.

From the time we're born until we die, we're kept busy with artificial stuff that isn't important.

Banking types should take their cue from Gordon Gekko. Or pick the best-looking banker in their firm and copy him.

Fashion is ruthless the way every three months you have to think about everything all over again.
