I love being a fashion designer.

I really don't understand minimalism. It is so polite and boring. If you don't want anyone to notice you, you should stay home and grow your own vegetables.

I love women's fashion, but women don't need me as much as men do. It's the men who have nothing to wear.

I know I have to be like people expect, because people love to dream with me, they like to think that I love my boat of 50 metres, that I drink Cristal for breakfast, that I dance until five o'clock in the morning. I am not like that.

I began to speak well at a very advanced age - 15, 16, 17 years old. It was psychological: the trauma of war, my family and growing up on my own. I was more or less a street kid.

I think I was the first to show that a designer could be like a rock star, that people should love your fashion but also put your name together with your fashion.

In my planet, fashion, I'm the only straight man.
