JW: I'm a big fan of fur. I don't know if she actually wears fur or not but I'm a big fan of fur so something with a giant, weird fur headpiece, almost to make her look like [shes wearing] the traditional Russian hats for their folk dancing, but we'd make it bigger and put some kind of bird sitting on top. Something like that. But I want to make real clothes too, I don't want to make just costumes.
Wonderwall: Are there trends with mass appeal right now that you're in favor of or opposed to?
JW: I hate the whole farmer chic thing that's going on. I don't like that Chanel did their show in a barn setting with hay. It's not a good style. And I'm from the country and if anyone should like that style it's me and I'm definitely not a fan of that. I really like when people look different, even if they go to a vintage shop somewhere and get a T-shirt that's 50 years old, it's better than going to the Gap and looking the same as everyone else. That's the thing that I hate the most. Anything that's really mass produced like a J. Crew or a Banana Republic or an Abercrombie, something like that, I really hate.
Wonderwall: Can you share an example of something in your upcoming memoir that wasn't covered in the press?
JW: Well, the book is going to be about me and my story and how I got to where I am. I'm going to deal with some of my past relationships, sexual and not. I'm going to talk about the politics and the behind-the-scenes dealings of figure skating which, even though people don¹t necessarily think of it when they're watching figure skating, it's definitely there. Because of politics I wasn't an Olympic medalist so there's a lot that I have to talk about.
His cell phones rings, blaring dance music: My mother, one second. Mom, I'm on an interview. Can I call you back? Sorry.
Wonderwall: That's OK! Can you give our readers a word of spring style advice?
