In order to create an image almost similar to that of a pencil case standing up and walking, I try to eliminate all excess by cutting. I have the feeling that this process (of "cutting off") is linked in some way to "elegance". Elegance and so-called "eliminating excess", or the beauty that remains after excess has beeen eliminated...

Fashion sighs after trends. I want timeless elegance. Fashion has no time. I do. I say: Hello Lady, how can I help you? Fashion has no time to even ask such a question, because it is constantly concerned with finding out: What will come next? It is more about helping women to suffer less, to attain more freedom and independence.

To be modern is to tear the soul out of every thing

I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.

The more we possess, the more distant we grow from God.

I have no imagination about holidays, vacations, or retiring life. I can't imagine about those things.

My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.
