Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul. I didn’t like the ’80s at all; it was a vulgar moment of fashion. My shows are about the complete woman who swallows it all. It’s a question of survival. I don’t care about money. I really don’t care. I just want to do […]
Jeans represent democracy in fashion. Design is a series of creative choices – it’s a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be. I was the first […]
You can’t just buy things for the label – it’s ridiculous. It’s sometimes said that I’m rebellious and I do things to push people’s buttons, but I just like the challenge. I’ve always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That’s been part of the journey. I’m an accomplice to helping women […]
It’s hard to balance everything. It’s always challenging. I think I’d go mad if I didn’t have a place to escape to. There is always an emotional element to anything that you make. I truly believe that philanthropy and commerce can work together. Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your […]
I believe in comfort. If you don’t feel comfortable in your clothes, it’s hard to think of anything else. Insecurity is a waste of time.

Design is a series of creative choices – it’s a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be. You have to always work against what you did […]
It really pulls at their heart. I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle. I’m an accomplice to helping women get what they want. I’ve treated the waistcoat as if it were a corset, so that it becomes the first layer in the process of putting clothes on the body. Men have […]
First I made a dress because I was pregnant and I wanted to be the most beautiful pregnant woman. Then I made a sweater because I wanted to have one that wasn’t like anyone else’s. Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound. I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very […]
Dressing up. People just don’t do it anymore. We have to change that. My customers are successful workingwomen. I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity. I’ve always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet. Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back […]
If I had the power, I would ban leggings. I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon. Design is a series of creative choices – it’s a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through […]
