It was like one of those dreams at high school when everyone else has clothes on except you.

In my adult life I've understood that if I put an enormous amount of love and honesty into something, usually that shows in the end.

People always ask me how I start a collection, and I tell them that I just look around. What am I tired of? What am I in the mood for? Real fashion change comes from real changes in real life. Everything else is just decoration.

Dressing well is an expression of manners.

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

Anyone with a long-term partner, anyone with a long-term lover, if that lover dies, you could easily see yourself in a situation where you couldn't see your future and you would be living entirely in the past. It's about that loss.

I'm actually very introverted. I'm very shy. I'm very emotional.
