I wanted an idea of the future, a new femininity. I wanted you to feel that you wouldn't quite know where these women were coming from and where they were going to.

I find it fascinating to see the fact that women want to buy things that they see on men.

Robert Gober, for example. He doesn't seem like somebody who is just going to show in a gallery that asks him to show. He's just making his work, and when he's ready, he's going to show it.

But overall I want to make sure people fall in love with the clothes and that they are satisfied

My ideas for the next collection always happen a couple of months before the show. I have learned to shut up and not bother my assistants with it.

Unlike fashion, art isn't applied. It doesn't have to serve anybody. It doesn't have to be there for any other reason than to give an impression of what the world is about.

I know this independence is what people like most about my brand.
