I have a company, and I've got to think about that. I'm trying to do my best there, and that's a much harder task. We recycle as much as possible, and we conserve. But I've always been one to save everything - I even walk up stairs on the very inside or the very outside to not wear out the tread.

Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.

We are so conformist; nobody is thinking. We are all sucking up stuff; we have been trained to be consumers, and we are all consuming far too much.

Print some money and give it to us for the rain forests.

Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.

Well, I'm very much a literary person. And my fashion always tells a story somehow. I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring. To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.

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.'
