Vulnerability is beautiful to me. There might be a need to fabricate your own beauty paradigms. I guess I never quite bought into any kind of 'standard'.

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.

David Bowie, for me, was the butchest guy in town. Jagger was like a truck driver.

Just like zillions of children, album covers educated and informed me, and certainly did I later transpose organically, rather than by intent, those principles both in fashion design and photography.

I like the idea of paradox, between the authentic fabrics and sophisticated shapes and between masculine and feminine. I'm not so much for sportswear. I think it's over.

In the future, fast-fashion retailers might change their philosophy toward real efforts to create a world of their own. One can only hope.

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.
