I Find Beauty In Melancholy.

I'm Prepared To Forget About Money If It Affects My Creativity Because, Remember, I Started Off With Nothing. And I Can Do That Again.

There Is No Better Designer Than Nature

My Friend George And I Were Walking On The Beach In Norfolk, And There Were Thousands Of [razor-clam] Shells. They Were So Beautiful, I Thought I Had To Do Something With Them. So, We Decided To Make [a Dress] Out Of Them. . . . The Shells Had Outlived Their Usefulness On The Beach, So We Put Them To Another Use On A Dress. Then Erin [o’conner] Came Out And Trashed The Dress, So Their Usefulness Was Over Once Again. Kind Of Like Fashion, Really.

I Like The Concept Of Dressing People. I Used To Not Care Whether People Bought The Clothes Or Not, But I Kind Of Like It Now. I Wouldn't Label That Commercialism; It's More Like I Do This Work Because I Want People To Wear It.

Fashion Should Be A Form Of Escapism, And Not A Form Of Imprisonment.
