They Know They're Going To Look Beautiful,

I'm Interested In Longevity, Timelessness, Style - Not Fashion.

I Never Went To Fashion School. I Didn't Know What A Designer Was. I Knew I Had Something, But I Didn't Know What It Was. And It Could Just Have Easily Been Nothing.

The Clothes That I Design And Everything I've Done Is About Life And How People Live And How They Want To Live And How They Dream They'll Live. That's What I Do.

As A Kid, I Was Always Into Clothes, But I Didn't Have The Money To Buy Them. When I'd Get My Brothers' Hand-me-downs, There Was An Energy In Me That Made Me Say, "i Want To Get My Own Things, To Make My Own Statement." Somewhere Along The Line, That Energy - Coupled With My Exposure, Through Movies, To A World I Hadn't Known - Turned Into Something.

Success Isn't Based On 'look What I Can Do!' But More On An Inner Sense Of Self And Believing You Have Something To Say In Your Own Consistent Way. And I Think We All Have To Fight To Maintain Our Unique Style And Taste In A World That Would Have Us Conform.
