We started a shape and we have to continue it also in shoes, in jewelry in everything, because things have to be current.
There is a softer, romantic tough by some of the prints and by the colors. It's not harsh. Some is body-conscious. Some is completely fluid.
I have my permanent muses and my muses of the moment.
People like me were supposed to be into exclusivity, unapproachable. That's what I hate most. I think it's very demode.
I don't want to be on the Internet.
I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed.
I wanted to become an illustrator as a child.
I hated to be treated as a child. I thought it was the worst situation.
My opinion can be completely different after a show.
There are so many people in the world who cannot read English or French or whatever.
Stupidly it should not be. It should be also nice. One must get along with that. Is however not necessary.
Music is part of the life of fashion, too.
I'm lucky to work in the most perfect of conditions.
I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know.
