My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.

Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.

If you dress up, it helps your personality to emerge - if you choose well.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

I wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.

I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring.

I don't have faith in young people any more. I don't waste time trying to communicate with them.
