Adidas is a very personal inspiration to me. It has enriched my creative life. It's an exchange between different cultures, different ideas, and most of all, it is teamwork.

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.

A beautiful flower does not exist. There's only a moment when a flower looks beautiful.

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...

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

Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.
