Your memory is not my memory. ”

The future is not so interesting for me because the future doesn't exist. I am really focused on the contemporary. ”

For me, reworking the past over and over again is a way not to trivialise the garments and not to obsess over hem lengths. What I am interested in, as a matter of fact, is telling a story and, if someone sees fragments of other stories in it, be my guest. I don't have to justify myself. What is urgent for me is what I want to say. ”

The idea that a man should be wearing something different and more eccentric is obviously the oldest idea on earth. ”

Some women are forced by men to look a certain way to be accepted by the general public, and I find that terrible. ”

There should be no boundaries, no hierarchy, no violence. Men and women are equal. ”

Clothes are endless possibilities for meaning because with every change or different association, you are a different person. ”

The more you are different, the more interesting. The more you are not like me, the more I want to get to know more about you. ”

Trees and flowers are so important. The idea of blooming is the idea of becoming something different. ”

It seems only natural to me to present my men's and women's collections together. ”
