I don't want to say temporary, because temporary is such a trendy word.

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.

Craziness in a shoe is great - you can have much more freedom, you can exaggerate and it doesn't feel stupid. But to have too much craziness near your face, that would just feel weird.

I would say that clothes are an excuse for living in the world.

Many of us grew up with a kind of puritanism against shopping. But shopping can be much more than how it is cast. If you are bored or you have problems, it can be a way of lifting your spirits, by doing something light and superficial. Why not?

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.

I suppose I felt guilty not to be doing something more important, more political. So in a way I am trying to use the company for these other activities.
