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

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

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

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 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.

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

People always want an explanation about everything and I cannot give it to them. Because I don't know myself. 'Why did you do a pair of pants like that?' I have no idea. I'm not going to have a 20-minute political discussion about the necessity for slashed, painted leather jeans. Basically, I don't know more than you.
