I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing. Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good. I didn’t consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in. I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy. My relationships with producers or photographers - these are relationships that took years.

Clothes can transform your mood and confidence. Jeans represent democracy in fashion. We look our best in subdued colors, sophisticated cuts, and a general air of sleek understatement.

Jeans represent democracy in fashion. It’s sometimes said that I’m rebellious and I do things to push people’s buttons, but I just like the challenge. We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny. I never look at other people’s work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions. Every day I’m thinking about change.
