Patricia Field apparently doesn't get why everybody is so into fashion, despite the fact that she is one of the world's most famous stylists.
The quirky designer told The Cut at the Life Ball preview party last night: "It's funny, I always wonder why everyone is so interested in fashion.
"I mean, I love it, and it's fun and whatever, but there are other interesting things to talk about. But everybody is so into fashion."
If that wasn't enough to get even the most ardent fashion fan riled, when asked by The Cut if she was going to style the Sex and The City sequel, her answer was reportedly less than enthusiastic.
"Yeah, probably. I'm not tired of fashion. Fashion is my blood. But, it's, like, okay! Don't put me in that box. I'm more than fashion. I am the 360-degree woman."
This coming from the lady who is staging the opening show for the annual Life Ball next month, and who has managed to make many ordinary films really stand out from the crowd, thanks to her eclectic styling.
Despite her frank admission about her industry, she did insist that she likes to chat about her other icons, regular favourites of the fashion industry: Socrates and Einstein.
"Einstein is an icon of my life, along with Socrates. Socrates was a genius and his genius is that he delivers new ideas in the most simple and understandable way. At the same time, he will shake you up, but when you got stuff out of him, it seemed obvious.
"And Albert Einstein was the same way. His theories were the most simple and logical theories and he told you them in simple and logical ways.
"Like, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. It's obvious! Those two were twins. The distance between them is a straight line. Ha!"
