I wish you didn’t have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody’s buying far too many clothes.

I didn’t want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn’t like it. I always wanted to do other things.

What I’m always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.

I believe in sketching because there is something very sensitive in sketching, you know, in sketches that you don’t have out of a computer that looks the same like everybody even if, later on, the dresses are OK, but I like to sketch, and I like to see trails made after my sketches that look the same. It is you know, what I like.

We can make a commitment to promote vegetables and fruits and whole grains on every part of every menu. We can make portion sizes smaller and emphasize quality over quantity. And we can help create a culture – imagine this – where our kids ask for healthy options instead of resisting them.

Instead of buying six things, buy one thing that you really like. Don’t keep buying just for the sake of it.

I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam; it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it’s not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.

I think some people would love to be able to make the clothes I make – and of course, I do influence them, but they keep simplifying, and minimalism doesn’t quite work.
