For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.

Let me not forget the use of my own hands, that of a craftsman with eyes... that reflect the technology around me.

It's almost like putting armor on a woman. It's a very psychological way of dressing.

I am married to work.

You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.

What I do is look at ancient African tribes, and the way they dress. The rituals of how they dress. . . . There's a lot of tribalism in the collections.

Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.
