Quotes
- “It's the things that aren't accepted as conventionally beautiful that I find more attractive.”
- “I love the gym, but I still want to look a bit awkward at it. I don't want to look too on top of it, you know?”
- “Awkwardness gives me great comfort.”
- “...People that don’t have any interest in the psychology of nuance, who need everything to be in their face, who don’t want to analyze... those aren’t the people I romanticize about dressing.”
- “I'd like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they're wearing what they like and what suits them. It's not a status thing.”
- “I don’t believe in fashion dictatorship, and I find that anybody who follows the dictates of fashion is a bit lost. I’m excited by style, not so much by fashion.”
