I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.

The whole basis of my work is analysing what I do and building some sort of intellectual framework. The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas. They are the only subversion.

I try to concentrate on quality clothing and accessories that are worth having, and to get my people to take fewer trips by air and stay longer each time they travel. It’s more human, especially if they take time to visit an art gallery while there.

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

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.

Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.

I disagree with everything I used to say.
