I'm a designer, and for me, things are always evolving, and such evolution is necessary.

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.

Both costume and fashion are about telling a story, except that in a ballet the story has already been written by the composer or the librettist.

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

When it's only clothes, that is not satisfying enough for me. I don't think I could do this for 10, 20 years if that was all. It also has to be about a psychology or a mentality or a concept.

I don't find it difficult anymore, because these days, Raf is only men and Dior is only women. I found it much more complicated when I was doing Jil Sander for men and women. It wasn't that it was the same, but I'm specific about where I want to go, and when you suddenly have to do two men's collections in the same moment, that was more difficult.

If I see a fashion show with literal influences, it doesn't make me think any more. It doesn't make me dream.
