Take your time and not get stressed. I get ideas about what’s essential when packing my suitcase.

I think there is something about luxury it’s not something people need, but it’s what they want. It really pulls at their heart. Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I’ve never been cool, but I’ve felt cool. I’ve been in the cool place, but I wasn’t really cool, I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It’s the awkwardness that’s nice. It’s sometimes said that I’m rebellious and I do things to push people’s buttons, but I just like the challenge. I think there is something about luxury.
You cannot be creative with people around you. Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive. My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn’t dare do themselves.

Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable. I believe in comfort. If you don’t feel comfortable in your clothes, it’s hard to think of anything else. Age and size are only numbers. It’s the attitude you bring to clothes that make the difference. I believe in comfort. If you don’t feel comfortable in your clothes, it’s hard to think of anything else. Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable. Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter. I design from instinct. It’s the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut. It’s really easy to get colors right. It’s really hard to get black is certainly a color but it’s also an illusion. Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul. Age and size are only numbers. It’s the attitude you bring to clothes that make the difference.
