I exist here, now. I'm not much interested in the future. Or, more precisely put, I do not believe in the future. To exaggerate a little, I have no faith that I will still exist tomorrow or the day after. What is more, I absolutely detest retrospection. That dislike is balances only by my desire to make my way back home as quickly as possible.

Dirty, stained, withered, broken things seem beautiful to me.

I feel like I have become a living fossil in the fashion world. Without even noticing it, in my own collection I have moved away from the street style.

If you feel strongly about someone, go up to them. Pursue what you want in life. Why be shy about something like that?

At a certain point, I stopped seeing my clothing worn by people on the streets . . . It seemed like they were being treated as museum items.

Colour disturbs people. I am confident in black, not in light. This dark side of life is attractive to me forever and from the beginning. I am a lazy designer when it comes to colour.

I believe that there are three conditions to a woman’s beauty. First, you must realize that not all women are beautiful all of the time. Sometimes beauty comes on a subconscious level. When she is in love, or has met someone new and exciting, she shines. Second, you must understand that life is unfair. Beauty is something that, for some, must be worked at. The third condition is luck. Some women can just be lucky.
