I have always been interested in fashion as an informing design discipline: proportion structure, detail, materiality, texture, color and quality.

Architecture and fashion are partners. -- Charles Gwathmey
She missed the built environment of New York City. It was only in an urban landscape, amid straight lines and architecture, that she could situate herself in human time and history.

The Kingdom is the love of God prevailing in politics, in business, in government, in media. It is all the impact of the laws of God creating a social environment where the strong help the weak, where those who have give to those who don't.

I think the relationship is very tenuous between fashion and art. Many designers have built relationships with artists, which is not something I personally did.

Mos Def is a name that I built and cultivated over the years it's a name that the streets taught me a figure of speech that was given to me by the culture and by my environment and I feel I've done quite a bit with that name and it's time to expand and move on. -- Mos Def
I don't use any real vintage hardware any longer.
