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

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?

I like the irony in my work.

The only way to do something in depth is to work hard. The moment you start being in love with what you're doing, and thinking it's beautiful or rich, then you're in danger.

I always believe in doing new things and using new materials that I have never used or that I didn't like for a long time.

Basically I'm trying to make men more sensitive and women stronger.

Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.
