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.

I love to design. I am a commercial fashion designer. I always design jackets with two sleeves. I don't design jackets with three sleeves, or the layers and layers come off like little dolls from Russia. Fashion for me is a creative endeavor, but it is not art for me.

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.

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.

Everyday is one less day.

Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.

You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.
