In fashion, general people will look to the piece itself. [Some designers] concentrate on, 'How can I make this seam look special?' or 'What am I going to do with that button so it looks interesting?' I am not interested in that.

Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.

It was a challenge for me to see how I could deal with that at Jil, and I had a lot of doubt about it. I wondered if maybe it was just better to do your own thing in the long run, like an artist.

I’m very attracted to things that I can’t define.

My whole life, I've always had to be surrounded by creative things. I find it relaxing to be in touch with creations by other people.

Camouflage is about much more than concealment and going unnoticed. There's a whole game involved between revealing and hiding.

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