I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.

I consider myself to be respectful, and I believe this is a main value for sports.

One of the most important things to me is to make things real, not have models who are perfectly groomed or clothes that are too perfect. It all has to have a twist because that's how people live.

Algebra looked like Chinese characters to me, and I could never get into reading Shakespeare. I just did not get it.

I like to spend time with my family - that's the most important thing in my life.

My mother was kind and forgiving and would take in all the waifs and strays in our neighbourhood; we always compared her to Mother Teresa. She taught me a lot.

The preppy look has gone global- every corner of the world interprets it in a different way.
