I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.

I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam; it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it's not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.

I didn't consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.

I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I'm a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.

The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas.

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

What I'm always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.
