I was never so directly inspired by fashion. It always came from somewhere else.
If something is good, it doesn't go out of style every six months. The fashion wheel of today doesn't have to go as quickly as it was pushed in the 80's.
I have always been interested in materials and in transforming them.
To grow up under really simple circumstances, and to understand that certain things were ornamental... that made an impression on me as a child and is something I use.
I think the history and the past we have is just an energy we've built up to do what we do now.
