I love the idea of working with women because I always feel like a man designing womenswear needs women around him to really have a sense of what they're doing.

We all want to be a little glamorous, a little playful and a little mischievous at times.

My inspirations come from everywhere. It's important to look at everything and anything.

I hope I am the antithesis of disposable fashion.
