What Is Masculine And What Is Feminine,

My Best Experiences With Movies Have Come When I Didn't Know What To See.

Sometimes I Have Chosen To See Films Just By Their Posters.

When I First Started To Do Fashion Shows I Didn't Have The Budget To Hire Top Models So I Would Cast Women Who Inspired Me, And Ask Them To Walk How They Walked. I Was Doing A Mise En Scène, Which For Me Was Normal. I Love For People To See My Clothes, But It Was More About The Attitude Of The Girls. The Revues Of The Late 19th Century/early 20th Century Were Very Much A Reflection Of What Was Happening In Society And Politics, And For Me That Is Also The Role Of The Fashion Designer.

For Me, Difference Is Beautiful, There Is Not Only One Beauty, And In A Collection I Always Like To Show Mixed Directions. When You Look At People Or Things, There Are All These Codes And Standards That Come Into Play Around What Is Considered Ugly Or Beautiful, And I've Always Questioned That. When You're A Kid, You're Not Conditioned, You Don't See Perversity, There's A State Of Innocence Where Everything Is Beautiful, You See Differently....i Am Lucky Because I Am Doing Now What I Dreamt Of Doing As A Child, And I Like To Think That I've Retained A Childlike State Of Mind.

I Know What I Am Able And Not Able To Do. Fashion? Ok. Fashion... Clothes In Theatre, In An Opera, In A Concert - All That I Love. To Make A Movie Myself... No!
