You are only as good as your last book, and so there has to be a book.

Regardless of how good or bad a collection might be, it's a letdown after the show is over. It's done. Something you've worked on for months is just over.

I do really well under pressure.

When you start a collection, you have to push yourself to limits that may make you uncomfortable.

There is an awful lot of pressure on me.

I don't think I will be less good because there's less pressure on me.

I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.

I am proud that my collections have received such praise, and I am even more proud to share the stage with so many talented designers.
