[It's] not one thing this year, one thing another year.

I shared this idea that fashion starts with a movement, an allure: elusive, defined through perfect proportions.

My parents offered me my first camera for my birthday and I developed an exclusive passion for it over the years. Since I was not the most social kid on the block, the camera helped me to express myself, invent my own language - something like a secret garden. I decided early on I would not write in a diary but take silent photographs instead.

I always loved designing, but the context needs to be right, and have a positive perspective.

Sex is not a subject in my photographs, or would only be if it had to do with romance, sometimes vulnerability. The photographs are quite clearly about happiness, or search for happiness.

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