Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers. ↗

It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together. ↗

There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person. ↗

As a designer, you've always got to push yourself forward; you've always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That's what I do. ↗

Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation. ↗

For a long time I was looking for my perfect equilibrium, my mojo. And now I think I'm getting there: I've found my customer, my silhouette, my cut. ↗

I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12. ↗

I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it's late. ↗

I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design. ↗

I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn't label that commercialism; it's more like I do this work because I want people to wear it. ↗
