ideas femininity feels
I wanted an idea of the future, a new femininity. I wanted you to feel that you wouldn't quite know where these women were coming from and where they were going to.
warhol made
For me, Warhol made so much sense.
appreciation interesting creative
We are very excited to re-launch the collaboration with Fred Perry. We have great appreciation for the heritage of the brand as well as their dynamism in guiding the brand towards the future. Their openness to create synergies between both our brands will bring interesting, creative results.
attitude giving different
Collage – SS13 offers a very controlled and pure do-it-yourself attitude. The collection shows a juxtaposition of very different materials, prints and colours, therefore giving the wearer a possibility to combine the garments in different ways.
evolution designer evolve
I'm a designer, and for me, things are always evolving, and such evolution is necessary.
skills fantasy relevant
I have so much respect for John [Galliano]s technical skill and the fantasy, its just something that I dont find relevant now, especially when it restricts a woman, because in every other area they have so much freedom.
people
There are people who, if they see something in couture that they perceive as ready-to-wear, they're in shock.
