My parents offered me my first camera for my birthday and I developed an exclusive passion for it over the years. Since I was not the most social kid on the block, the camera helped me to express myself, invent my own language - something like a secret garden. I decided early on I would not write in a diary but take silent photographs instead.

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

Since I was a child, my whole life has revolved around music. It's often while listening to a song that ideas for my fashion collections formed.

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.

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