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

My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body - they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.

Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It's always sexy, and it's always with the same result: making women look fantastic.

All that self-expression has just created a generation of morons, hooked on an endless appetite for rubbish.

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

Nothing is costed properly and it's destroying the earth. We need to re-educate people that what is good for the planet is good for the financial system.

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