A few times in my life I've had moments of clarity where the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think.

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

We've become a little spoiled with menswear in particular because, of course, we've come off a period in the '70s and '80s when Armani, which is very soft, dominated menswear. And we've become obsessed with comfort. I actually don't like that.

We live in a material world. I'm not saying that beautiful things don't enhance our lives. But, in our culture, we're never happy.

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.

I love black dresses. I think everyone should own a lot, but black dresses don't sell online because on the computer they don't read like anything.

In another life I would love to be a cosmetic surgeon because it’s architectural. You know, you are trying to figure out where the seams go. Can I do it in one piece like Halston? Can you formaldehyde DNA?
