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.

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

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.

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

Enjoy your life, fashion is not that important.

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