I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.

I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.

All that self-expression has just created a generation of morons, hooked on an endless appetite for rubbish.

My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.

I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.

It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world.
