Fashion is only complete when it is worn by ordinary people who exist now, managing their lives, loving and grieving.

Beautiful things are disappearing every day.

Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.

My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.

I was on a Japanese designers' pedestal - considered a maestro. My design was getting closer to a couturier's work, and I felt like I was missing something.

Fashion cannot make you sexy. Experience makes you sexy. Imagination makes people sexy. You have to train yourself, you have to study, and you have to live your life.

Just listen to the material. What is it going to say? Just wait. Probably the material will tell you something.
