Lingerie is my next love after clothing; I think it is what is worn underneath that really inspires a woman to feel beautiful in her clothes - that inner, secret glamour.
I keep on working when other people are out having fun. But I love what I do and find it hard to stop.
I love the journeys of research and discovery their development takes me on. I see prints as less 'decorative' than many might, and more fundamental to a garment's core.
I don't walk around feeling like I'm successful. I feel like I did well.
Fur is my default, my indulgence. All human beings and myself have a lot of defaults. Many indulgences.
I grew up in the Alps and France, and Barbie was my first exposure to the American woman. For me she was blonde, she was free and she was fun.
I always take a less-is-more approach to my routine, and use products that create a sun-kissed glow that can transition from day to night.
Once I graduated from NYU, I started making custom vintage tees for my friends and it just took off from there.
I did not want to be labelled 'the designer who survived the atomic bomb,' and therefore I have always avoided questions about Hiroshima.
My mother has a very chic sense of style, but she also has high expectations for her clothes to be functional and practical.
I like to choose my own way forward. I really do want to create something that I personally like a lot.
Women want to wear what they do because of what goes on in their heads. Their size and shape have practically nothing to do with it.
I feel very strongly that clothes that fit well make a person feel better. It's maybe half the value of the merchandise.
I believe that if you think about what style means, you won't become a fashion victim.
I spent a lot of years working for Ralph Lauren, and he had so many copycats, from Tommy Hilfiger to Abercrombie & Fitch to J.Crew.
Bruno Mars is pretty fashionable. Gary Clarck Junior, who was also in our ad with Jimmy Page, is a super super stylish guy.
I loved the MC5 and the Stooges, but also, the British Invasion - the Kinks and the Yardbirds - and then Led Zeppelin, of course. Alice Cooper was one of my favorite bands.
I've always loved the rustic, slightly worn style of Canvas and that element of an artisanal hand. It's so inherently chic.
When I moved to America, I knew I wanted to be a designer. I never imagined one of my dresses would end up in the Smithsonian.
The Taiwanese are big on tea. I think it's nice to slow down a bit. It's very much a custom.
How we treat the earth basically effects our social welfare and our national security.
