Fashion Should Be A Form Of Escapism,

Women Should Look Like Women. A Piece Of Cardboard Has No Sexuality.

I Spent A Long Time Learning How To Construct Clothes, Which Is Important To Do Before You Can Deconstruct Them.

Now I Design What I Want To Wear, And It Works That Way.

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 Was This Young Boy And I Saw This Man With His Hands Round My Sister's Neck, I Was Just Standing There With Her Two Children Beside Me... Everything I've Done Since Then Was For The Purpose Of Making Women Look Stronger, Not Naïve. And So, When Everyone Started Saying I Was A Misogynist, That Really Freaked Me Out. They Didn't Know Me. They Didn't Know What I Had Seen In My Life. That Was The First Part Of Fashion That I Hated - People Labeling Me Without Knowing Me.
