I have a great admiration and tenderness for Azzedine Alaia. I haven't seen him in a while, but I guess he must be still sewing some dresses at night.

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

I discovered Los Angeles in the late 90s. The city was not at its best at the time, but I fell for it right away. There is something almost haunted about it, a vibrant mythology I find rather inspiring.

Music defines decades, and quite clearly shapes the rhythm, vitality of fashion, attitude and social behaviors. The anthology, just like most of my work, from photography to fashion design, is about and around music.

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

I'm going to design again, but I come back when it's the right project, so I keep my passion for it intact.

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