style for me is a casual way of putting something on. it’s not thought out but needs to suit your way of life. now i like wearing the same sweater over and over again, then taking it off when it’s smelly.

fashion should make you feel happy. we’re all our own barbie doll. anyone who takes fashion seriously is a fool…what’s the worst that’s going to happen? you’re going to go out somewhere, and you’re going to put something on, and you’re going to look like an idiot. so what? you can take it off, and it doesn’t matter.

a t-shirt i bought in a vintage store in japan that’s got two fried eggs on the boobs. i just love it. i wear it constantly—everyone’s like, ‘you should change outfits!’ and i’m like, ‘no! egg boobs!’

luxury is being able to do what you desire without strings. it’s hedonism with sprinkles of gold on top.

plenty of people in fashion are very self critical and masochistic in the way they approach their bodies, themselves, their personal styles. they should be reckless and have fun and not be self conscious.

i’m not doing anything in a violently different way now than i did fifty years ago. that’s pitiful. my husband and i laugh about it all the time because we think, ‘my god,’ these girls will say, i’m ‘cool’ or i’m ‘hot’ or whatever the expression is, and i’m not doing anything differently than what i did a long time ago. it’s funny.

so many people during fashion week are now only dressing up to be caught for street style, and that it’s made many of them into cartoon figures. you see these girls desperate to have their photo taken, whatever it takes — a plastic harness, golden handcuffs, they’ll do because they’re so anxious to be validated in a street style photograph. i think that’s a little tragic; and it all becomes self-referential and slightly pointless.

i never pay any attention. i’m sure it’s not such a good way to be, but i don’t really follow market research. and in the end i do respond to my own instincts. sometimes they’re successful, and obviously sometimes they’re not. but you have to, i think, remain true to what you believe in.
