For me, restrictions are not always negative. Restrictions can push creativity. I like restrictions.

When we were studying at the Royal Antwerp Academy, we were taught to seek inspiration from everyone, everything and everywhere. My parents and grandparents were also a great inspiration for me at a very young age.

I make clothes people can wear; I don't make art.

A few years ago, maybe it was more strange to be outside of the centers of fashion. Now, with the Internet and traveling that you can do, I think I'm more central than some people in Paris.

There are boys and girls, there is night and day, but above all there is love.

For me, restrictions are not always negative. Restrictions can push creativity. I like restrictions.

Enjoy your life, fashion is not that important.
