Important moments like this are time to reflect. To remind us, sometimes, that it's not only important what you wear, but it's also important to be aware.

I've come to realize that, with social media today, people consume fashion very differently than they ever have before - they post it, tweet it, like it, retweet it. Today, people define themselves by a collection of various elements in their lives that they connect to.

I apologize to everyone who was offended by my insensitive tweet about the situation in Egypt. I've dedicated my life to raising awareness about serious social issues, and in hindsight my attempt at humor regarding a nation liberating themselves against oppression was poorly timed and absolutely inappropriate.

I've come to learn that the best time to debate family members is when they have good in their mouths.

We all walk in different shoes.

I don't know if I even consider myself a very political person. I have always had strong beliefs on important social issues. Politics have politicized social issues, but I don't know if social issues are in fact political. If anything, they are more human issues than they are political issues.

Success has less to do with what we can get ourselves to do and more to do with keeping ourselves from doing what we shouldn’t.

You can change an outfit, you can outfit change, or both.

In war is it who's right, or who's left?

How you see the world depends on how you look.

Every day when a man or woman gets dressed, they are in effect defining who they are. That daily clean slate is a time in our lives when we can determine who we want to be.

For 30 years I have used my platform in provocative ways to encourage a healthy dialogue about important issues, including HIV/AIDS, war, and homelessness. I'm well aware of the risks that come with this approach, and if this encourages further awareness and discussion about critical issues then all-the-better.

What you stand for is more important than what you stand in.
