I've Never Said I'm A Fashion Designer.

I'm So Lucky. I've Met A Lot Of Famous People.

The Pervasive Idea Is That If You're A Man In The Fashion Industry, You're Gay Until Proven Otherwise. And Of Course There Are Lots Of Men Who Aren't. But People Make Certain Assumptions.

I Believe That It's Very Important To Get To Know People With Whom You Can Have A Substantive Dialogue About Design And Its Development. In Addition, Read Everything About Fashion That You Can Get Your Hands On. A Palpable Point Of View Is What Makes A Designer, So You Need To Be Confident About Yours.

I'm Really Not A Trend Promoter Because I Feel That People Push Trends On People They Shouldn't.

I Am A Stickler For Good Manners, And I Believe That Treating Other People Well Is A Lost Art. In The Workplace, At The Dinner Table, And Walking Down The Street--we Are Confronted With Choices On How To Treat People Nearly Every Waking Moment. Over Time These Choices Define Who We Are And Whether We Have A Lot Of Friends And Allies Or None.
