I don’t like the collusion between high fashion design and high street. You have to know where you stand. I belong to luxury fashion. That’s what I’ve always felt and embraced. I like the best quality, the best fabrics and the most creative field in fashion. I will stay consistent. I belong to this world.

I like it to stay very organic, and to remember a personal story behind all my subjects.

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.

Fashion somehow, for me, is purely and happily irrational.

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.

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.

The framework of men's wear is so narrow, that when you play at the edges you get labeled.
