There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show; they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?
I think there's a couture thing going with Chloe that is not at all what we've seen before.
The '90s will be looked back on as ushering in an era of comfort.
I wear the same thing every day. I always pack two black jackets, loads of black T-shirts, loads of white jeans. I feel a little fresh and glamorous and graphic.
In the '80s, it got to the point where we'd have shows with a hundred looks. You'd want to order a pizza before it was over!
I am the oldest young designer in New York City.

We don't want to wear black every day, but we don't want head-to-toe color every day either. Green can sort of do both and I think that's what's great about it.
There's cool bluish white, white with a yellow cast, a rosy cast, a creamy cast. It's kind of cool to mix it all up. Wear a vanilla shade, ecru and optic white, and mix it all together. If you're confused about the different whites, go to the local paint store, they'll sort it out.
The most exciting thing to say now is, 'Oh, she really looks pretty ,' ... That's not such a dirty word anymore.
There's a whole generation of women who never really heard the word investment before, when it came to fashion. They've been buying things because they were cheap.
The store recently held an exclusive preview of Kors's fall collection. Zac Posen also has been popular this season, as has Jacobs, whose fall collection Monahan called a ''statement.
