Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I'm attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually. Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good. Dressing up. People just don't do it anymore. We have to change that. It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world. I am convinced that you don't need to spend a fortune to look like a million.
You cannot be creative with people around you. I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom. Attitude is everything. I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon. Sometimes incompetence is useful. It helps you keep an open mind.
The only way to do something in depth is to work hard. I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey. I feel that things happen for a reason and open up new opportunities. I've treated the waistcoat as if it were a corset, so that it becomes the first layer in the process of putting clothes on the body. There is constant motion between layering and revealing. We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.
I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle. It's useless to send models out on the runway to cry. Money is the most corrosive aspect of life today because it means that all attention to detail is forgotten. My customers are successful workingwomen. The difference between style and fashion is quality.
