In the fashion world, I was always an outsider, but I made people look good, so I had a career.

I don't have a connection to the fashion world at all.

I have always worked a bit with fashion people. I worked with Issey Miyake for a while, then Dolce & Gabbana; now we're working with Valentino. It's fine. The fashion world is a fairly weird world, but there are good people in it. It's weird because their timetables are unbearable.

I'd certainly welcome him to the upper echelon of the fashion world. I'm pleased to see it, too.

And lots of other things in the fashion world.
