Before I Had Kids, I Was Out

If I Have Done Anything, It Is To Make Ugly Appealing. In Fact, Most Of My Work Is Concerned With Destroying—or At Least Deconstructing—conventional Ideas Of Beauty, Of The Generic Appeal Of The Beautiful, Glamorous, Bourgeois Woman. Fashion Fosters Clichés Of Beauty, But I Want To Tear Them Apart.

I Was A Communist, But Being Left-wing Was Fashionable. I Was No Different From Thousands Of Middle-class Kids.

Clothes Can Be Important. I Am Learning This. For Instance, Often When I Design And I Wonder What Is The Point, I Think Of Someone Having A Bad Time In Their Life.

I Like To Be Useful To People.

You Have To Always Work Against What You Did Before, And Even Against Your Taste.
