Basically I'm trying to make men more sensitive and women stronger.

I once tried to make lace - which has been a great obsession of women - unsexy. And I achieved it.

If you ask, do you like strong men or weak men, I'd say, I like who I like.

Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.

You want to be understood by the sophisticated few but you also have to be more loud somehow, otherwise your message doesn't go through.

Many of us grew up with a kind of puritanism against shopping. But shopping can be much more than how it is cast. If you are bored or you have problems, it can be a way of lifting your spirits, by doing something light and superficial. Why not?
