I've always done the style that I loved, so I didn't mind sending an old pair of jeans down the runway. It's about that style. It's not Hedi Slimane. You know, I'm not all that familiar with his thing-I really don't look. I certainly know who he is.

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

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

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.

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.

The perfect integrity of The NewYork Times, and its writers, is not precisely 'just silly nonsense,'

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