“You either know fashion or you don't.”

“If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what's going on in the world as a headline in The New York Times.”

“Just be true to yourself, and listen as much as one is able to to other people whose opinions you respect and look up to but in the end it has to come from you. You can’t really worry too much by looking to the left and the right about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.”

“It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone’s forgotten.”

“Create your own style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”

“You never know if that person likes you, you have to trust yourself. Don't be afraid to get hurt.”

“Hey, you know what else I don't care about? You giving me orders.”
