If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.

Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.
