I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don't really need to have New Year's resolutions.

But as an adult working in the fashion industry, I struggle with materialism. And I'm one of the least materialistic people that exist, because material possessions don't mean much to me. They're beautiful, I enjoy them, they can enhance your life to a certain degree, but they're ultimately not important.

I am not a person who is about reality. I am about enhanced reality.

I am a spiritual person in an eastern religion kind of way. I learned that happiness for all of us is a switch that you flick in your brain. It doesn't have anything to do with getting a new house, a new car, a new girlfriend, or a new pair of shoes. Our culture is very much about that; we are never happy with what we have today.

I'm a perfectionist, to the point of insanity.

Style is very different from fashion. Once you find something that works, keep it.

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.
