Beauty is like a sunset: it goes as soon as you try to capture it. The beauty you like is precisely that which escapes you.

The purpose - where I start - is the idea of use. It is not recycling, it's reuse.

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

Of course there are many ways we can reuse something. We can dye it. We can cut it. We can change the buttons. Those are other ways to make it alive. But this is a new step to use anything - hats, socks, shirts. It's the first step in the process
