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

Men's clothing is more pure in design. It's more simple and has no decoration. Women want that. When I started designing, I wanted to make men's clothes for women. But there were no buyers for it. Now there are. I always wonder who decided that there should be a difference in the clothes of men and women. Perhaps men decided this.

Fashion cannot make you sexy. Experience makes you sexy. Imagination makes people sexy. You have to train yourself, you have to study, and you have to live your life.

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

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.

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.
