Working With Cate Blanchett, On And Off

I Wanted To Dress The Woman Who Lives And Works, Not The Woman In A Painting.

Style Is Having The Courage Of One's Choices And The Courage To Say No. It's Good Taste And Culture.

It Is Difficult To Talk About Fashion In The Abstract, Without A Human Body Before My Eyes, Without Drawings, Without A Choice Of Fabric - Without A Practical Or Visual Reality.

I Don't Like Women Who Follow Fashion In The Sense Of Becoming Victims Of It. I Like Women Who Have Elegance, Who Have Allure, Who Use Fashion, Rather Than The Other Way Around.

There Is A Danger In Becoming An Icon, As People Can See You As Remote And Untouchable, And They Are Less Willing To Tolerate You Doing Things That Don't Fit With Their Preconceived Idea Of You. Iconic Status Can Be Like A Pair Of Handcuffs, Especially If, Like Me, You Wish To Continually Stretch Yourself Creatively, As Warhol Did.
