care aphrodisiac dont-care
The coolest thing is when you don't care about being cool.
thinking clothes interesting
People ask why I do monochromatic clothes; the reason is because I'm thinking in proportion to the world. In this room, your head is going to look so much more interesting if it's on a monochromatic column. Whereas I think people think of outfits and gets a little too fussy, a little too detailed. I'm always thinking of the line of a person standing with their head in a room and I always feel like a stalk, or a stem, or a pillar is nicer. I always think of everything architecturally.
fashion
The whole fashion thing is so oversaturated.
people focus stuff
I like things pretty reduced. I don't understand how people live with so much stuff around them, because you can't focus on it, and after a while it ends up becoming absorbed. It's not as if anything's really being appreciated. To me all that stuff is some desperate message to everyone about who you are, like bumper stickers.
attractive-things vulnerable can-do
Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is also one of the most attractive things you can do.
moving moving-forward conscious
I'm really conscious of not doing something just for the sake of moving forward.
simple shoes clothes
Hair and shoes say it all. Everything in between is forgivable as long as you keep it simple. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggress ive.
fun having-fun enjoy
I want to have fun. And I want to enjoy what I'm doing.
moving moving-forward
You can't stay in one place. If you stay in one place you die. So you have to move forward.
together literature influence
I had a lot of classical influences. I had classical music and opera and literature, but I also liked sleaze. And putting it together, sleaze and glamour, it just made sense to me.
work-out body looks
Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.
style care aphrodisiac
The coolest thing is when you don’t care about being cool anymore. Indifference is the greatest aphrodisiac - that’s what really sums up style for me.
