For me, it's really like, okay, if you go far with the unexpected materials and unexpected proportions or volumes, then keep the colors quite simple and straightforward for men.
I prefer a scruffy atmosphere.
I like to choose my own way forward. I really do want to create something that I personally like a lot.
For me personally, there's too much fashion around in this world.
I collect objects I fall in love with more than antiques per se. Value is not a criteria that attracts me to something.
For breakfast, I usually have a slice of bread with some homemade jam made from fruit from the garden; the type of jam depends on what particular fruit is being harvested. I learned how to make it from my mother.
For me, a show is an event - something we work toward that focuses an idea.

I started the company in 1986, but we didn't have the money to do a show until '92.
I look back on shows now that I thought were good, and I don't like them so much anymore. Or criticism I didn't understand or agree with now makes sense.
We always say that fashion is a reflection of our times.
Many a fashion designer's career was founded using packs upon packs of Polaroids, and though we love them, we forget that the image quality was often circumspect.
Picasso took scraps of wallpaper, and instead of using paint and a brush, he used all the existing elements which he made his artwork with.
