Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics.

Each dress symbolizes the age that it's appropriate for.

Fashion only seems to make sense if it's rooted in some dimension of history or if it feels like a continuation of an idea.

Fashion was in a crisis up until the mid-'90s and, when it came out of the crisis, it was a very different place. It was a place that nurtured and cultivated young entrepreneurial designers.

There were so many individual styles thirty or forty years ago.

People define themselves aesthetically at a very young age.

Through my travels, I find inspiration in street style and how young women create their individual looks and identity.

Fashion embraces the weirdos. They're into that. There are always young people that people in fashion are interested in. You know, youth and vitality and energy - it brings something different.
