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.

I always loved designing, but the context needs to be right, and have a positive perspective.

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.

An athletic man, or whatever you want to call him, will only look good in a very classic suit, a pair of classic jeans, athletic clothes or simply naked. Forget fashion. This is not going to happen, unless you want to look like a Chippendales dancer in designer clothes.

I shared this idea that fashion starts with a movement, an allure: elusive, defined through perfect proportions.

Men's fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.

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