Americans believe cotton is best, but we've invented new fabrics that will change your lifestyle.

I don't like silk underwear. They don't do the job, you know?

I started to work with cotton fabrics. I used cotton because it's easy to work with, to wash, to take care of, to wear if it's warm or cold. It's great. That was the start.

I was always interested in making clothing that is worn by people in the real world.

When I was starting, there were wool mills in the U.S. that could make you anything. The U.S. used to produce the most beautiful cotton denim in the world. Now all that is gone.

I try to apply the organic concept to my clothes and bedding as well. There's nothing like swimming in organic cotton sheets.

I've been known to create clothes that are very formfitting and feminine.

One of my assistants found this old German machine. It was originally used to make underwear. Like Chanel, who started with underwear fabric - jerseys - we used the machine that made underwear to make something else.

There are so many cute vintage dresses made out of synthetics from the '60s and '70s - but they're so itchy and hot. It's not worth it!

I love Calvin Klein underwear. That's the only kind of underwear I wear.
