What keeps you going? Discipline, love, curiosity, excitement, and a commitment to finding joy every day.
Do fashion shows make you nervous? Fashion shows don’t make me nervous. They’re actually a celebration of different concepts of beauty and ways of human beings presenting themselves in the world. I find them interesting, and I’m always looking to see what the social commentary behind the designer’s intentions might be.
Are you good at small talk? I am terrible at small talk except with very close friends.
What did the show remind you of? I thought the show was original and didn’t remind me particularly of anything. I liked the mixture of mature concepts in line and form, and also very youthful, celebratory, fun looks. I thought there was a broad depth between the ideas presented within the collection.
What was the bag situation? I think the bag situation during the show was to express a fun disregard for the practicality of bags carried thoughtlessly and with a bit of amusement.
