People always want an explanation about everything and I cannot give it to them. Because I don't know myself. 'Why did you do a pair of pants like that?' I have no idea. I'm not going to have a 20-minute political discussion about the necessity for slashed, painted leather jeans. Basically, I don't know more than you.

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.

Men's fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.
