No matter how much people in fashion think we're so cool and avant-garde, for most fashion people, creativity is quite taboo.

I tried to never exclude people. I know what it means to be left out.

Being a creative mind, you have to examine who you are every day.

In the beginning I didn't want to do a menswear collection. It felt a little forced. And then I found that it was an amazing world.

I am interested in beauty when it has something special and mysterious.

Couture is more your own world, they come and buy head-to-toe ­ - they buy the jewelry, bags, coats, dresses, bodies underneath.... But couture is not dead ­ - it's taken another shape.

Black is always elegant. It is the most complete colour in the whole world, made of all the colours in the palette.
