The best moments in my life are just before going to bed. Those are my happiest moments.

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

Generally speaking, I am not interested in the future and don't believe in it. First, I guess it is true that I don't trust the future, but, more to the point, I don't even trust the "myself" of tomorrow, nor, for that matter, of the day after. Basically, all I know, and all I am capable of understanding, is the "me" that is here, now, the "me" that has dragged his past with him to this point.

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

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.

A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.

With my eyes turned to the past, I walk backwards into the future.
