I would like the people that buy my clothes to understand that for me it's one small piece of art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.
In the last 20 years of collecting contemporary African art, I have been bombarded by incredible shapes and colors that I now want to translate into clothes.
I have my own people that make my clothes because it's hard for me to find stuff that fits.
I design some of my own clothes now.
Clothes are not frippery. Properly done, they can be an art form.
The clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do.
I make clothes people can wear; I don't make art.
You can make clothing as art, but I like the idea of my clothes actually being worn and being useful to women.
I don't like to treat a piece of clothing like an object of art because I don't consider myself an artist. I'm a designer.
I am not really interested in clothing as a conceptual art form.
