It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

I've been openly gay since I can remember.

Art critics are like every other critic.

I value very much the time before the show, when there is nothing else but to concentrate on the show, and it's just purely design.

I like to take on the thing I don't like at the moment. I like to find something that looks wrong or feels off, something that I would never have done in the past, like brocade. And then all of a sudden, if we can make brocade work, then we've really done something, because I hate it. And that's just a reference. I don't actually hate brocade.

We live in a world where people are really hungry for information, and they're not hungry for information on subjects that they're not interested in.

I think of many people and no one as a muse. I love the way Sofia looks always, and I love the way Kim looks always. Fashion may be part of their world, but it's not their whole life. It's not everything.
