The only pants that I am using this season are jeans from my jeans collection. And, I've done them in denim again and also in corduroy.

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.

I don't have the luxury of making clothes just to make an effect. It can't be something totally frivolous, because my distributors have to have a successful season, too.

I've kind of broadened the collection a little bit this season, using a little bit more luxurious fabrics, which is a new thing for me. I have the jewelry in there The shoes are always an inspiring thing.

I love going to flea markets especially when I am traveling, because I love seeing the stuff of other cultures, handicrafts and things with historical content.

When I look at designer books I am sometimes puzzled why they don't share their inspiration, when it's obvious somebody had such great inspiration.
