I love to be in New York. And I think anybody who's a designer, who says they're doing an urban collection, thinks about the streets of New York. I cannot do an urban collection thinking of Bangkok. Or Mexico. To me, it's totally instant, totally connected with what attracts me these days. But this resurgence of a modern, cool way of being dressed is something that stimulates me and is totally right for me. Even now I don't like to show something that is some futuristic utopia.

Making clothes that everybody can wear is also something that stimulates me a lot, because I have this edgy, fashion-y part, but I am also totally involved with a brand that is about how people dress, and what they want. And it's a whole other look you can have on the street. It's exciting because it speaks to the other part of my job and what my passion is. A designer wants to make something useful for as many people as possible.

Art is the way people see things, and I think it's great when individuals can find in fashion something they truly believe is artistic

My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.

What is sure is that the satellite view of our world and its evolution is now a common reality.

As a designer, I'm not a guy that can be put in a niche.

I could live naked... I love it.
