When I am in London, I think my favourite city is London, but when I am in New York, I feel it is New York. It is very hard to choose between the two.

I think preppy stands for optimism, confidence, energy and authenticity.

I saw my future. I pictured it, but didn't quite know how to get there. But I knew that I should never give up.

I had eight brothers and sisters. Every Christmas my younger brother Bobby would wake up extra early and open everybody's presents - everybody's - so by the time the rest of us got up, all the gifts were shredded, ribbons off, torn open and thrown aside.

No one is an inventor in the fashion business. Designers recreate fashion.

The possibilities are endless, so never be discouraged by a setback, no matter how big.

The best city for fashion is Tokyo. You see styles there you won't see in London, Paris, Milan or New York. I also like the fashion scene in Los Angeles - it has a unique look.
