There Is No Better Designer Than Nature

I Was This Young Boy And I Saw This Man With His Hands Round My Sister's Neck, I Was Just Standing There With Her Two Children Beside Me... Everything I've Done Since Then Was For The Purpose Of Making Women Look Stronger, Not Naïve. And So, When Everyone Started Saying I Was A Misogynist, That Really Freaked Me Out. They Didn't Know Me. They Didn't Know What I Had Seen In My Life. That Was The First Part Of Fashion That I Hated - People Labeling Me Without Knowing Me.

Some Designers Are So Airy-fairy People Can't Connect With Them. I Hope People Can Relate To Me, To A Normal Person Who Just Happens To Be A Fashion Designer, That People Can Take Me As They Find Me. It's Not The Designer's Job To Care About What People Think. Whatever Else I've Done, I've Never Tried To Be Something That I'm Not.

I Was Never A Big Networker, But I Was A Spin Doctor, All Those Shock Shows, That's How I Got My First Backers. But Fashion's A Scary Industry To Be In, Especially If You've Not Grown Up With It.

Youth Culture Now Really Looks Back And Embraces The Past, But Keeps It Contemporary But Not Sticking To One Particular Style.
