The personality of the wearer and the hat makes the hat.

Somebody can feel elegant without being elegant. It's a personality.

How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about.

Gaga is an entertainer, so a hat for her is part of the illusion of entertaining.

I always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object.

I make hats for lots of iconic people, and that makes my job very interesting.

There's a technicality to designing and wearing hats. A hat is balancing the proportions of your face; it's like architecture or mathematics.

I used to make clothes for my sister's dolls. I couldn't care less for the dolls, but I could make the clothes really easily.

I believe in a democratic approach to fashion: if you feel good, then great. You may not look good, but it's not the problem.

The only person I never made a hat for was my mother because my mother didn't really - she preferred to make her own hats. I mean, she was intrigued by everything, but she didn't want one of my hats. She made her own.

There is no attitude required. The hat brings the attitude. And when people try on a hat they like, it is a bit of fun. It makes them laugh. You don't laugh when you put on a pair of shoes, but you do with a hat.

What I love most about Her Majesty is that she has kept hats alive in people's minds for more than 60 years. You can't think of her without imagining her with a hat or a crown. I would, of course, love to design one for her.
