I only like luxury fashion. You have to decide where you stand. I like well-made, authentic clothes, well-crafted tailoring. I also like the dream and fantasy of luxury, the exception and rarity of it. I have no interest at all in fast retail. It is ambiguous.

Hedi was and is still misspelled 'Heidi' and my perception of genders ended up slightly out of focus from an early age.

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

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.

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.
