I couldn't buy anything; I just went through the clothes.

My name is associated with it enough, and we have a fantastic team here.

• I only do what I do. For me, it is a craft. It's got to be my own thing - otherwise, I would never be successful. I could easily go to the archives and pull 1987 or 1991 collection by Calvin Klein. But when you look in there, you realize that it was never about one piece. It was about the collections as bodies of work.
