Give Me The Control, Don't

You Know That Only Thing That Has Made The Whole Thing Worthwhile Has Been Those Few Times That I Was Able To Truly Connect With Another Person.

I Love New York. It's Given Me So Much As A Designer. When I Moved Here, I Wanted To Tap Into The Glamour Of The City Immediately. More Than Anywhere Else, New York Offers Itself Up - You Arrive And Get A Rush In A Flash. It's Dazzling. Everywhere You Look, There Is Decoration, From A Pair Of Jewel-encrusted Shoes In The Window In Bergdorf Goodman To The Chrysler Building. And New York Is Incredibly Democratic. Everyone Is Packed Into This Tiny Space. You Are Confronted With All Manner Of People, And I Love That.

Part Of My Family Were Ranchers. So You Were Expected To Be Quite Macho. You Weren't Expected To Cry. I Was The Exact Opposite Of That.

We Live In A Material World. I'm Not Saying That Beautiful Things Don't Enhance Our Lives. But, In Our Culture, We're Never Happy.

Part Of Fashion Is Newness. It's Got To Be A New Combination Of Elements That's Shocking-stunning-beautiful All At The Same Time. But It Doesn't Have Any Emotion.
