It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.

You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.

Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.

There is no better designer than nature

People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.

I think there is beauty in everything. What 'normal' people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.

If you're lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It's not in the world - it's in your head. I think that is amazing.

There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.

Life is not about getting everything right, as much as it’s about working to live right.

Once a sarriyal, always a sarriyal, she thought.

Fashion, for me, is anything that's aesthetic and beautiful. Art, food, film. It's something that I appreciate and really like.

Some movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They're afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs.

Liberal learning is both a safeguard against false ideas of freedom and a source of true ones.

Other than that and the fact that I don't have to work any more my life hasn't changed a bit.

We are loved by Love itself. There is nothing good that we can't do.
