I think scarves are just wonderful. They can dress up any outfit.
My philosophy has always been to help women and men feel comfortable and confident through the clothes they wear.
I like doing slightly masculine, Savile Row tailoring. A nice jacket. Wearable - it's almost a dirty word in fashion, wearable, but that's what I do.
I'm on an Isabel Marant kick. She does an amazing job of making things that are everyday-wearable but also special and a little bit different. I definitely like that she has a '70s western vibe. There's something that's very fun and vintage in what she's doing.
I think the success of any brand reboot is to acknowledge the heritage but to embrace and interpret it in a way that makes it relevant and wearable to the modern consumer.
You can see that ladylike kind of dressing with a twist coming back at Dior, and I think that a lot of the fashion is following in those kinds of footsteps. It's wearable. It sits in your wardrobe forever.
This is very much my philosophy as a fashion designer. I have never believed in design for design's sake. For me, the most important thing is that people actually wear my clothes. I do not design for the catwalk or for magazine shoots - I design for customers.
Sometimes I feel like what's hard for fashion designers to do is take looks from off the runway and actually put it into existence, into reality. That's really the hard part.
For me, being involved in fashion is fun. But I like to be relatable and to wear things that other people can wear, too.
I was always interested in making clothing that is worn by people in the real world.
I want to give people easy things to wear.
For me, doing a show is great, but I want women to be able to wear the clothes easily as well.
You don't want to have a boring runway presentation, but you don't want to show stuff nobody is going to wear.
I love Stella McCartney because she's timeless and classic, and I love Isabel Marant for wearability - you don't need 'an occasion' for her clothes.
It's not about what it looks like in the studio or on the runway. It's what it looks like on a real person that matters.
I do enjoy fashion - a lot of runway clothes are pretty unwearable, but if moderated, the trends can be worn by just about anyone.
