PROENZA SCHOULER
â??THE ECONOMY HAS HAD A HUGE IMPACT ON US. CREATIVELY, ITâ??S REALLY INTERESTING. DO PEOPLE WANT FANTASY, OR IS IT ABOUT REALITY? ITâ??S FORCED US TO EVALUATE WHAT WE DO, AND MADE US EDIT OUT WHAT WE DONâ??T LIKE. FOR SPRING, WE WERE GETTING FANTASTICAL, TRYING TO ESCAPEâ??AND NOW WEâ??RE GETTING BACK TO THE CORE OF WHO WE ARE.â?â??LAZARO HERNANDEZ
LAZARO HERNANDEZ AND JACK MCCOLLOUGH WEAR THEIR OWN CLOTHES.
ALEXANDER WANG
â??THE THING THAT REALLY INSPIRES ME IS USUALLY A MISTAKE, LIKE A TRASH BAG THAT GETS STUCK TO MY SHOE AND I CANâ??T SHAKE IT OFF, OR WE DO A FITTING, AND IT COMES BACK JUST SO HIDEOUSLY WRONG, AND YOU KIND OF THINK, WOW, HOW COULD WE MAKE THIS WORK?â?
ALEXANDER WANG WEARS HIS OWN CLOTHES.
CHRISTOPHER KANE
â??Iâ??M ALWAYS OBSESSED WITH AMERICAN CHILDRENâ??S PAGEANTSâ??THESE 5-YEAR-OLDS WITH FALSE LASHES AND BIG HAIR SINGING THESE REALLY OLD ADULT SONGS. THEYâ??RE AMAZING. WHY NOT DRESS YOUR CHILD LIKE THAT? Iâ??D LOVE TO GO TO ONE, BUT PEOPLE WOULD THINK Iâ??M A PERVERT.â?

CHRISTOPHE DECARNIN FOR BALMAIN
â??I JUST MOVED TO SAINT-GERMAIN. ITâ??S VERY HISTORIC, VERY QUIET, BUT ALSO VERY TOURISTY. AMERICANS LOVE SAINT-GERMAIN, AND I FEEL LIKE I AM IN AN AMERICAN MOVIE FROM THE 1950S, LIKE FUNNY FACE. ITâ??S LIKE A FANTASY OF PARIS. SOMETIMES THE IDEA YOU HAVE OF SOMETHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE THING ITSELF.â?
CHRISTOPHE DECARNIN WEARS JACKET BY BALMAIN HOMME.
GILES
â??YOU KNOW, DORIS [RAYMOND] FROM THE WAY WE WORE IN L.A. JUST GAVE ME THIS AMAZING PAPER DRESS FROM, LIKE, 1967. ITâ??S SILVER PAPER WITH THIS BRIGHT RED AND GREEN CAMOUFLAGE PRINT. I LOVE THE SIMPLICITY, THE DISPOSABILITYâ?? AND ITâ??S FIRE AND WATER RESISTANT! OF COURSE, PAPER DRESSES WERE A DISASTER. EVERYONE LOOKED LIKE PIGS IN THEM. ITâ??S JUST THE GREAT IDEAâ??THIS CHEAP DISPOSABLE THING THAT HAS ALL THIS IMAGINATION AND FUN ATTACHED TO IT.â?â??GILES DEACON
GILES DEACON WEARS A TRENCH COAT BY BURBERRY PRORSUM.
JONATHAN SAUNDERS
â??NOW THAT Iâ??M DOING FOUR COLLECTIONS A YEAR, I CAN GET REALLY BOGGED DOWN AND FORGET WHY I GOT INTO THIS . . . AND I GET ON THE PHONE TO MY 8-YEAR-OLD NIECE IONA, AND SHE TELLS ME ABOUT THESE DRESSES SHEâ??S DESIGNED BASED ON FLOWER FAIRIES . . .AND IT ALL KIND OF COMES BACK.â?
JONATHAN SAUNDERS WEARS A SHIRT AND PANTS BY YOHJI YAMAMOTO.
