I've always believed that clothing is a great way to tell your story.
I've treated the waistcoat as if it were a corset, so that it becomes the first layer in the process of putting clothes on the body. There is constant motion between layering and revealing.
I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes, where a woman's personality and sense of self are revealed. I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.
It's about being creative and drawing on who you are when you wake up, and expressing yourself through fashion.
It is clothes. It is parts. Therefore, you combine the parts differently to create your own unique expression.
There are wonderful artists who deal in the fashion world only, and you see by their creations that they are changing our understanding of sexuality and freedom and gender-bending.
I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.
Clothes are not frippery. Properly done, they can be an art form.
Clothes are interesting and they're there to be played with. I like the idea of costume rather than fashion.
