I love bringing the colors and textures of other cultures. If I wear a dress that I bought from a street vendor in Bali on a red carpet, it's a way of bringing my travels with me.

I look suspicious if I dress in sort of benign clothes, going to the airport.

I have become aware on my travels that when a country loses the connection between its history and its traditional dress, something truly precious is lost.

I collect a lot of clothes when I travel around the world.

I have a friend in New York who's a stylist and I went over to her place because she's got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it's all stuff that I brought over.

I think, to me, the sheer joy of fancy dress is that it allows you to take a break from our very carefully considered and constructed identities.

My clothes are for the international jet set. They are very much for the red carpet.

If I want to wear a dress, I'll wear a dress.

Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.
