We are really living the American dream, to be a successful brand in the States and in Europe and to steep ourselves in our heritage. But we do it with a sense of humor. We don't take ourselves too seriously in fashion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fashion is for us to have fun.
I've never taken fashion too seriously. I try to enjoy it.
Fashion is just an interpretation of the culture around us.
I decided if it was going to be a mistake to come to New York and try and make a career in fashion, then it was going to be my mistake... But the American dream is real. I'm living it.
Comedy in America is very serious. Either they laugh, or they don't.
The whole scale and scope of the decorating and fashion business in this country are incomparably grander than in London. What's thrilling about America in general, and the New York fashion scene in particular, is its optimism. It makes the whole experience energizing and uplifting.
The most fascinating part is how fashion just attracts all these social rejects, if you will, from around the world, encourages individuality. They're the people who make the industry tick.
I am not really brand-conscious; I pick out clothes that appeal to me regardless of the label, but I consider my style very American.
I know fashion can be intensely goofy, but it is something I've always taken pretty seriously.
There is a lack of humor in fashion. To me, it's always been the fun, cool industry to work in, and I always wanted people to be on my side and see how much fun we really have behind the scenes.
