I started as a black-and-white teenage photographer, and I'm still there decades after. In some ways, the genre is almost gone. I am thinking of true, stubborn, lifetime black-and-white photographers, as opposed to black-and-white as a photographic commodity.

Men are not supposed to be mysterious. That's what you say about women. But I think men can have a little of it, too.

Since I was a child, my whole life has revolved around music. It's often while listening to a song that ideas for my fashion collections formed.

I thought I should work more on the idea that you wear a suit or a jacket because of the fun it can provide, because it's a game, because it might even have a sexual quality.

I'd like men to think about evolving into something more sophisticated, more seductive. To explore the possibility of an entirely new masculinity.

Mostly the subject of the photograph, which can be anyone really, coming down the street - someone that has no idea. "Heroism" in photography, just like in a novel, is for everyone.

Together with the rise of the internet, September 11 and its aftermath has changed most of our lives.
