I think there's a sort of agony with all intelligent and very creative designers that it's only fashion, that in the end it's only the decorative arts.

People who are exceptionally intelligent are often lonely because there are few people as intelligent as them. I have two little children, and everyone says: 'I hope they're doing well in school.
