You Can Get Insular With Fashion.

I Think There Has To Be An Underlying Sexuality. There Has To Be A Perverseness To The Clothes. There Is A Hidden Agenda In The Fragility Of Romance. It's Like A Story Of O. I Am Not Big On Women Looking Naive. There Has To Be A Sinister Aspect, Whether It's Melancholy Of Sadomasochist. I Think Everyone Has A Deep Sexuality, And Sometimes It's Good To Use A Little Of It-and Sometimes A Lot Of It-like A Masquerade.

Some Couture Collections Have Everything Including The Kitchen Sink! Everything Gets Thrown On To Make It Look Expensive.

For Me, What I Do Is An Artistic Expression Which Is Channeled Through Me. Fashion Is Just The Medium.

My Friend George And I Were Walking On The Beach In Norfolk, And There Were Thousands Of [razor-clam] Shells. They Were So Beautiful, I Thought I Had To Do Something With Them. So, We Decided To Make [a Dress] Out Of Them. . . . The Shells Had Outlived Their Usefulness On The Beach, So We Put Them To Another Use On A Dress. Then Erin [o’conner] Came Out And Trashed The Dress, So Their Usefulness Was Over Once Again. Kind Of Like Fashion, Really.

I Have Been Skiing Since I Was In School, But I'm Not Great. I Am Never Going To Break An Olympic Record, I Just Want To Go Down The Hills, On Red Or Blue Runs, But Not... Black.
