confident convince learned order time work
In this work, you have to convince everyone all the time, at different levels, to support your dream. I learned you have to be confident in order to do that.
family good grew played
I grew up in a family that played golf, and my brother was much better than me, so I kind of put that aside. I had to be good at something other than golf.
age incredible women
I think the golden age of couture had some of the most incredible customers: women like Nan Kempner and all the icons.
grasped love people piece products purest saying understood worked
There are people I've worked with who have never understood how fashion works. They keep saying they love fashion, yet they've never actually grasped that this isn't yoghurt or a piece of furniture - products in the purest sense of the term.
future people
People used to define me as a futurist designer, but, you know, the future is now for me.
love
Actually, I love golf clothes! I think this is the most interesting part of golf!
design forget protect terms
In terms of design, it's true the world has an influence. But, as a designer, you have to protect yourself. You have to look at the world and then forget it.
With my designs and my ideas, I want to please myself first.
course direct time work
Of course I live in my time, and I'm really curious. But, at the same time, I don't think it has a direct impact on my work.
stressed
I'm always very stressed about making a new proposition every season. But in a way, it's a kind of addiction.
birthday paul promised
I promised myself: Before your 18th birthday, you're going to be at Jean Paul Gaultier. And it worked. I was hired.
fiction horror science-fiction
I do love science-fiction and horror movies.
fashion thinking pressure
I put pressure on myself to propose something new - I think it's the minimum that you can do as a fashion designer.
design want today
More than anything, I'm designing for a woman of today. I want to be a witness of my time.
