Knitted fur is so modern and light, it makes this retro shape cool again.

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.

I am more used to seeing my work like a big collection, and only part of it is being shown.

I am not a designer that buys vintage to be inspired.

When other boys dreamt of going to the moon or becoming doctors, I wanted to be a designer.

The only shoes that look futuristic are Crocs, but they would be terrible to use in a futuristic movie.

Historical costumes from the 18th and 19th centuries look so complicated, but when you see the patterns, it's very systematic. I've always been impressed by how the patterns economize the fabric.
