I prefer ugly things. I prefer things which are surprising.
From Dries van Noten
Fashion shows are really my way of communication.
Clothes is just something you put on to cover yourself... fashion is a way to communicate.
I have nothing against glamorous dressing.
One of the big luxuries of being in Antwerp is that I can easily walk in the city. In Paris and New York, I am more recognized.
My childhood was very, very, very, very traditional.
I love the journeys of research and discovery their development takes me on. I see prints as less 'decorative' than many might, and more fundamental to a garment's core.
I'm really hands-on. My team brings in elements, but, every season, it's kind of a personal struggle to find the balance and to see how far I want to push the elements.
All my collections are very personal. It's also because I'm so involved in making the collections.
I have my own office, and I'm there during the evenings and weekends. But during the week, I'm sitting in the middle of my studio, talking with everybody, deciding together every detail, every pallette, every yarn, every colour.
