I come in. I'm going to sketch, I'm going to drape, I don't know what I'm going to do.

Fashion is treated too much as news rather than what it is, what it does and how it performs.

When I don't have any ideas, I pick up fabric and start working with it and something happens.

Design is an unknown.

The influence of Paris, for instance, is now minimal. Yet a lot is written about Paris fashion.

I love reading. I'm fortunate enough to have signed books by Faulkner, Steinbeck, Thomas Pynchon.

I take my kids to school. And if I go to work, I go to work, and they visit me on set. I come home. I have dinner with my family. I have breakfast with my family. I have a very solid, very warm home.
