I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing. There is always the new project, the new opportunity. I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.<\/p>\n<p>A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity. I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting. It\u2019s hard to balance everything. It\u2019s always challenging. My relationships with producers or photographers \u2013 these are relationships that took years. I can\u2019t get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it\u2019s just crass. My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor. Vanity is the healthiest thing in life. I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves \u2013 that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness. You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don\u2019t need to do that any more. I don\u2019t really know how to do casual clothes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<h3>Breaking Up With Fast Fashion Has Been Easier<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m a fashion designer and people think, what do I know? We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great. Success isn\u2019t about the end result, it\u2019s about what you learn along the way. I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going \u2013 I have no post-satisfaction.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31 alignleft lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/peakshops.wpthemestudios.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/b5-740x480-1-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" \/><figcaption>Gucci\u2019s Men\u2019s Cruise Collection 2018 Lookbook Has Arrived<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I\u2019ve never been cool, but I\u2019ve felt cool. I\u2019ve been in the cool place, but I wasn\u2019t really cool \u2013 I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It\u2019s the awkwardness that\u2019s nice. We look our best in subdued colors, <em>sophisticated cuts<\/em>, and a general air of sleek understatement. I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-default\"><p>\u201cI try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If I fell in love with a woman for an artistic reason, or from the point of view of my work, I think it would rob her of something.
