Tailoring was considered to be a world that was very traditional, and basically going out of fashion. Fashion designers did not have a real link with tailoring or tradition, so I fused the two worlds together.

Style is an extension of yourself. My approach is to enhance the personality of the wearer, so he has his own voice

I haven't been to a job interview since I was 16 years old. When I was approached by Givenchy it was more like a courtship.

When things happen - you ask yourself why today, why not tomorrow, why not yesterday? That's the most amazing thing about time.

Because I'm a designer, I'm quite good when I shop. I know what I'm looking for.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes a lot of hard work.

My wife and I have a tradition of popcorn and videos with our kids on Friday evenings.
