For me, it's important to anticipate where fashion is heading.
I do what I think is right.
I was a communist, but being left-wing was fashionable. I was no different from thousands of middle-class kids.
One's life and passion may be elsewhere, but New York is where you prove if what you think in theory makes sense in life.
I would say that clothes are an excuse for living in the world.
I always have this idea to create and display activities somewhere else around the world, but in fact it's been very difficult since the start, as you have to find the right place that can represent, or could be as significant as, your ideals. It rarely happens.
