My dad only ever talked about two things: bicycles and Mercedes.

I dont want to show clothes, I want to show my attitude, my past, present and future. I use memories and future visions and try to place them in todays world.

My own show with Sterling Ruby, for example, seems like such a huge disconnection from Dior couture, but then I think, yeah, in both collections there was a very strong focus on the human hand and the actual work of people making garments. So in that sense, they were completely related. But I didn't realize that during the process.

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

I see my position in that whole Dior construction very differently from my own brand. My own brand will stand or fall because of me. Dior won't fall if I fall. It will also still stand if I'm not there. I'm coming in there and it's like a - I don't know the English word - like a passage.

The fashion world doesn't know the word stop, so you have to make sure there are sublime moments every day.

Sometimes it’s more a matter of collaboration which matters in a collection.
