 ”We broke all the rules that season; I had been told that we were not allowed to change the monogram. We were not allowed to do this. We were not allowed to do that…I’m not a rebellious person, but I  do like to take risks, and Stephen was the first person that I worked with who helped me to break the rules here.” –Marc Jacobs
