I travel a lot, and I hunt for fabrics, then I have the tailor make me something.

I came from Bill Blass, where it was a well-oiled machine and if I said I needed a fabric, it was done. Now, I have to budget everything. I have to take on the role not just as a designer but a business. But I'm a glass half-full kind of guy.

I wanted clothing that I couldn't find, so I decided to make it.

I design some of my own clothes now.

I got two stores, two streetwear stores, at home. Have to tend to those. Play Cloths. Have to tend to that business.

I brought a lot of my own pieces of clothes to the design room when I first met with the design team just so they could see what my style was like.

I'm kind of pleased with myself that I've got a tailor on Savile Row. I'm 68 years old. I deserve it.

When I don't have any ideas, I pick up fabric and start working with it and something happens.

I was a fashion editor for years in London before I came to 'Vogue,' and I spent my life arranging the folds of a ball gown skirt for a picture and pinning fabric and using all those stylist tricks. And you don't have to do that now because they can do it in Photoshop.

I decided to do everything around fashion but fashion itself, and that's accessories.
