A great thing happening now in art is that artists are using the figure, the body, clothing, life.

Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

From the beginning I thought about working with the body in movement, the space between the body and clothes. I wanted the clothes to move when people moved. The clothes are also for people to dance or laugh

One of my assistants found this old German machine. It was originally used to make underwear. Like Chanel, who started with underwear fabric - jerseys - we used the machine that made underwear to make something else

I very much like dance and dancers.

By the way, Marilyn Monroe was a size 14.

Many people will say, well, clothes should be worn; but I think people can look at them in public, like seeing a film. I think museum exhibitions are very important
