Black is not sad. Bright colors are what depresses me. They’re so… empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not.

I need human feelings to fit garments. I couldn't do it just, like, on an object - it's too close to our body. It's like a skin you are making, so you need one's feelings to make a garment.

For me, Gothic is something from my youth, when I had a heavy metal phase.

Jewelry is something that has to do with emotion. That aspect of jewelry really interests me.

Good fashion is like rock music: all anarchy and revolt.

fashion has a right to exist, because it permits people to define themselves over and over again.
