Many people will say, well, clothes should be worn; but I think people can look at them in public, like seeing a film. I think museum exhibitions are very important.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Clothes should be as interesting on the inside as on the outside. Even if you enjoy it totally alone, it's important.
Clothing is viral, impermanent in a way that public art cannot be. So I like thinking of how corporate-created clothing can be seen as a form of public art.
Clothes are interesting and they're there to be played with. I like the idea of costume rather than fashion.
Museums, I think, are becoming more and more aware of how to turn themselves into a must-see spectacle.
It was never my desire to revolutionize fashion, to make clothes that could be in a museum. I want to create clothes that have a certain style, but I want to see them used. I want to see people enjoy the things I've made.
You have to have an awareness of where you're going, what the event is, what you're promoting, and who the audience is. That always informs the way you dress.
Unfortunately, the greatest photographers don't pay extreme attention to the clothes. If they decide to put a dress in a bathtub or in front of a cow in the countryside with dirt everywhere, well, the dresses come back... ready to be put in the garbage.
Fashion should be fun and accessible.
I dress up for awards, but only if somebody else is going to pay for the clothes. And shop for them, too!
Wear your clothes with abandon, I say; don't keep them pristine as if for museums: They are meant to wear out. Then you get to buy new ones.
