Since I didn't know anything, I did everything I wanted.

I wanted a maternity dress, but I couldn't find anything I liked. Everything was abominable. So I made one. Then I made a pullover. 'Elle' put it on the cover. Then WWD elected me the Queen of Knitwear.

I don't think that clothes have anything to do with the personality. That comes from the woman herself.

I didn't listen to anyone. I was so violent, so authoritarian, only listening to what I wanted and myself.

What pushes me forward is everything I have learned: political, social, cultural. I put all that into the clothes.

First I made a dress because I was pregnant and I wanted to be the most beautiful pregnant woman. Then I made a sweater because I wanted to have one that wasn't like anyone else's.
