Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual

Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.

People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination

Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.

I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.
