There Is No Better Designer Than Nature

I Want To Be Honest About The World That We Live In, And Sometimes My Political Persuasions Come Through In My Work. Fashion Can Be Really Racist, Looking At The Clothes Of Other Cultures As Costumes. . . . That’s Mundane And It’s Old Hat. Let’s Break Down Some Barriers.

Some Couture Collections Have Everything Including The Kitchen Sink! Everything Gets Thrown On To Make It Look Expensive. I Find It Grotesque When Clothes Hit You In The Face And There's No Room For Fault. But I Don't Expect To Turn Things Around All By Myself. I'm Not A Saint.

The World Needs Fantasy, Not Reality. We Have Enough Reality Today

I Was Literally 3 Years Old When I Started Drawing. I Did It All My Life, Through Primary School, Secondary School, All My Life. I Always, Always Wanted To Be A Designer. I Read Books On Fashion From The Age Of Twelve. I Followed Designer's Careers. I Knew Giorgio Armani Was A Window-dresser, Emanuel Ungaro Was A Tailor.

I Think There Has To Be An Underlying Sexuality. There Has To Be A Perverseness To The Clothes. There Is A Hidden Agenda In The Fragility Of Romance. It's Like A Story Of O. I Am Not Big On Women Looking Naive. There Has To Be A Sinister Aspect, Whether It's Melancholy Of Sadomasochist. I Think Everyone Has A Deep Sexuality, And Sometimes It's Good To Use A Little Of It-and Sometimes A Lot Of It-like A Masquerade.
