<\/p>\nIt pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic, by fashion. I didn\u2019t want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn\u2019t like it. I always wanted to do other things. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes, where a woman\u2019s personality and sense of self are revealed. I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman. I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves \u2013 that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness. Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good. Fashion should be fun. It shouldn\u2019t be labelled intellectual.<\/p>\n
The only way to do something in depth is to work hard. I like the irony in my work. I like the irony in my work. I love a black dress. Men don\u2019t want another man to look at their woman because they don\u2019t know how to handle it.<\/p>\n
Men have got more of a discerning eye. They appreciate cut and details, things that aren\u2019t so obvious. They like things that have cachet and gentlemanliness. That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don\u2019t be into trends. Don\u2019t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live. I sometimes feel that a pattern is almost a fashion statement in itself. I do not have one theme for each season, I just try to make beautiful clothes all year round. People said making clothes inside out was not proper. I disagreed, because clothes that are inside out are as beautiful as a cathedral.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been in the cool place, but I wasn\u2019t really cool \u2013 I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It\u2019s the awkwardness that\u2019s nice. I think I\u2019d go mad if I didn\u2019t have a place to escape to. If you cut a painter\u2019s hands off, he\u2019d still feel the urge to pick up a brush. I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy.<\/p>\n
I get ideas about what\u2019s essential when packing my suitcase. I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle. I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body. I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future. I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture.<\/p>\n
It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic, by fashion. I didn\u2019t want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn\u2019t like it. I always wanted to do other things. Every day I\u2019m thinking about change. Jeans represent democracy in fashion. I love things that age well \u2013 things that don\u2019t date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best.<\/p>\n
Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity. I have a fantastic relationship with money. I use it to buy my freedom. It is not easy to dress well. I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business. Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
