"If you study yourself art, you become a freedom fighter immediately, because your life changes. You get off the consumer treadmill, you start thinking. My thing as a fashion designer, I say buy less clothes. Keep wearing things that you’ve really chosen, that you love and that is status. It’s not that you have to keep consuming. A status symbol is a book, a very easy book to read is Catcher in the Rye. Walk around with that under your arm kids, I mean that’s status."
