I have to say, I love the summer, but I don't love summer clothes to the degree I love fall clothes.

I think Hong Kong has always had this tradition of custom-made suits, which I've never done but love the idea of.

Getting dressed, for me, is like a window to my soul.

I love the idea of the sartorial mix of fatigues and a great blazer.

I love Italian food - especially Tuscan-style cuisine.

I love London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris - there are a million places I could imagine I like, but N.Y. is home.

It's a love-and-hate relationship with New York. Much like Hong Kong, it's expensive, crowded, the weather is not so nice. But New York is home, and I love New York.

Oh God, I am so pro-shorts. I love shorts.

I was 39 when I did, essentially, a three-quarter sleeve on my left arm. It was very late in life, which is good: I can't think of any decision I made at 19 that I'd be happy with at 39 or even now, at 51.

In Japan, the attention to detail in customer service is an experience that is unlike anywhere else. It's really quite special. I think everyone who's interested in fashion would do well to take a trip to learn about presentation and the way the merchandise is handed to you. These are skills that no one really thinks about.

I carry both a Blackberry and an iPhone. But for my job, the iPhone is essential because of picture-taking and because of picture sharing.

I would never, ever call myself a createur or a designer. I'm more of an amalgamator or a D.J., taking two things that don't go together and making them go together.
