People get very trapped where they are. When they hear "fashion" they get intimidated, particularly at the upper end because it's so elitist. If you can bring your own concept or your viewpoint and translate it not down but out, then you're really successful in the truest sense.

It's a remarkable exercise to sit and look at your own work over the years.

When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.
