I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.

I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.

Fashion is life-enhancing and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.

I do think if you aim for quality, it's not so much about consumerism. The idea is 'Buy less, choose well, make it last.'

I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.

I do not approve of museums trying just to get people to come in. Whistler was very, very clear on this.

My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.
