My fascination has been the space between cloth and the body, and using a two-dimensional element to clothe a three-dimensional form.

All of my work stems from the simplest of ideas that go back to the earliest civilizations: making clothing from one piece of cloth. It is my touchstone.

My touchstone started out being - and is still - exploring the ways by which to make clothing from a single piece of cloth.

If you look back throughout history from the ancient Egyptians onwards, most cultures started making clothing from a very basic premise: a single piece of cloth.

I am most interested in people and the human form.

Boys have been wearing skirts for some time now. My three assistants wear mini skirts. They come to work on their motorcycles wearing mini skirts. The French saw the idea on the streets and have done it in better fabrics, and now everyone says, 'Ah!'
