Of course, fresh flowers are the answer to any June gloom you may be feeling. Flowers really do solve all problems.

It's too hot for me to bother with wearing my hair down in the summer. I'd rather pin it up in braids, or throw it in a top knot so I don't have to think about it the rest of the day.

I love the idea of a woman's suit, but I wanted something that was a little easier to wear.

Spontaneity and instincts are key factors to a memorable party.

The best part about DJing a fashion show after-party or event is being able to correlate the emotions of the collection with music, just as you would for a show.

You walk a fine line when you have a performance at a show just as you do with having celebrities attend a show - you never want the attention to be drawn too far away from the clothing.

Music is such an important element in creating the drama that a runway show needs in order to be memorable and to make the clothes come to life.

You have not lived until you have fled a city in a country where you do not speak the language in the middle of the night.

When people insist on perfection or nothing, they get nothing.

My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way.

I've always been a reader and a writer.

The contact of two epidermises.

Even your own arms, deep inside your body feel foriegn to you, feel that they do not belong to you. Here lies an important secret. Butoh's radical essence is hidden here.

It is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.
