To Me, Beauty And Sadness Are Very Closely Linked. Truly Beautiful Things Make Me Sad Because I Know They Are Going To Fade. When I See A Beautiful 20-year-old Boy Or Girl-and They Are Breathtaking-i Am Filled With A Kind Of Sadness. But Maybe They Are Beautiful Because We Know They Are Not Permanent And They Are In A Kind Of Transition.

If We're Having A Glitzy Over-the-top Moment, Fashion Is Very Glitzy And Over-the-top, You Know, Over-the-top. If We're Having A Moment Where Things Are, You Know, We're In A Recession, Fashion Becomes Quiet. So, In Terms Of Popular Culture, Fashion And Especially Women's Fashion Is Incredibly Interesting, Aside From Satisfying Just A Particular Need To Create And Arrange Things In A Way That One Sees As Beautiful. And So, In A Certain Way, It's Fulfilling. In Another Way, It's Very Fleeting Because It Doesn't Last Very Long. You Know, A Beautiful Moment In Fashion Goes Away Very Quickly.
