The only reason I'm in fashion is to destroy the word conformity.

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

Buy less, choose well, make it last. Quality rather than quantity: That is true sustainability. If people only bought beautiful things rather than rubbish, we wouldn't have climate change!

I do have reasons for what I do. I am a very political person, and I really think if you put these clothes on, you will look like a force to be reckoned with.

Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.

I think it is terribly important to have opinions, and to think. We live in a world of action without thought.

If we didn't have the Chinese buying things, we'd be on the floor.
