Let's be realistic, how many people are buying a $2,000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I'm staggered by what a boot costs today.

My style is about making things last forever. When you're on a budget, it can be daunting to spend $300 on a pair of boots or a coat. But such basics are the building blocks from which your look is crafted.

For me, if I can design beautiful things that have the price be lower, I am thrilled.

I could design an $800 shoe line; it's easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It's easier than making great shoes for $90.

If you have to design something, choose things that we need as opposed to frivolous things that we might just want for a month or two for bragging rights.

It's easy to design expensive products. But there's that product democracy that I believe very strongly in to make something affordable for almost anybody that would want to use it.

I'd love to design stuff that I'd like to wear and that other people could wear, too.

I've been introduced to some huge designers that I could never afford. It's really cool.

I am always interested in designing things that have a great price point attached to it.

Good design should be available to everyone - and I do mean everyone. What I spent on the wheelchair I'm in could buy a small Mercedes. It's not only unfair to me; it's unfair to someone who's indigent but has the same needs. My goal is to make all objects affordable.
