Do you consider LA to be a fashionable place? Where do you think are the most fashionable places in the world?

I do consider LA to be a fashionable place. I think LA's fashion is a lot more casual and relaxed. I know that a lot of the LA-based designers are copied in other areas, and people do look to LA.

I think it's mostly because of the sense of celebrity and because of Hollywood that people look to California, to Los Angeles, to see how they're dressing. Also, of course, New York is a Mecca for fashion, [as are] Paris, Milan, London.

Whenever I'm in London I love to just run around and see what people are wearing and go to Harvey Nicks and see what they have, and I get a lot of influence from European fashions as well.
