I Have A Great Admiration And Tenderness

When I Was Designing, I Had In Mind Jimi Hendrix, And I Could Hardly Find Skinny Indie Black Kids To Wear My Clothes. I Remember One Telling Me He Had To Swap His Skinny Jeans For Baggy Ones In The Subway Before Going Home, So He Wouldn't Get In Trouble In His Neighborhood.

I Only Like Luxury Fashion. You Have To Decide Where You Stand. I Like Well-made, Authentic Clothes, Well-crafted Tailoring. I Also Like The Dream And Fantasy Of Luxury, The Exception And Rarity Of It. I Have No Interest At All In Fast Retail. It Is Ambiguous.

I'm Going To Design Again, But I Come Back When It's The Right Project, So I Keep My Passion For It Intact.

Vulnerability Is Beautiful To Me. There Might Be A Need To Fabricate Your Own Beauty Paradigms. I Guess I Never Quite Bought Into Any Kind Of 'standard'.

I Have A Great Admiration And Tenderness For Azzedine Alaia. I Haven't Seen Him In A While, But I Guess He Must Be Still Sewing Some Dresses At Night.
