I was a communist, but being left-wing was fashionable. I was no different from thousands of middle-class kids.

It's still feminine, but not in a romantic way. It's all about masculine and feminine, and being strong.

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

I want to confront myself. I challenge and doubt myself. Basically, what I don't like is to get bored.

What interests me most is when a work of art is no longer just an object, but also touches reality and life.

People ask me how can I be stylish, how can I be elegant and what can I wear? My only answer is study! You have to learn.

We, as designers, have a job with so many possibilities and connections. We are connected to so many different portals, from art to movies to music to design. Fashion is always evolving. Actually, the field is huge. I don't think there is another profession that is so open to so many possibilities.
