“That mixing of art forms and genres [Kanye does], that’s something I respond to.” -Laura Mulleavy
“Her music and style seemed so fresh and innovative. She is a total artist.” -Donatella Versace
“We’re really attracted to independent spirits, people who don’t follow trends. Yoko pretty much personifies that.” -Lazaro Hernandez
