“Things aren't interesting if you level them. It's the voice that's interesting.”

“It's most beautiful thing about my work. I have reached people who I would never have known without my work.”

“The future is open, and I never make plans. As long as it's interesting to me, I try to live my life to the fullest.”

“I don't look at other people's work because I don't want to be distracted by their ideas.”

“I can make 10 jackets of the same colour, same two pockets and same length, that will look like 10 completely different jackets when you put them on. It's about the way they are cut - it makes them look and feel completely different and move differently, and that's a never-ending study. People who wear my clothes will know exactly what I mean.”
