In France, History Is Paralyzing.

Do You Know That Cats Can't Wear Corsets? They Can't Stand! Not At All! They Just Fall Over. I Know Because I Tried!

I Have Always Been Drawn To Designing Fashions That Are Rebellious, Like Black Leather Jackets On Suburban Kinds, A Corset Dress, Punk, Blue Jeans. I Love That. Fashion Changes All The Time, And What Is Considered Extreme Or Elegant Or Luxurious (or Not Luxurious) Is Changing All The Time.

Clothes Became My Attraction And Obsession Early. I Wasn't So Interested In Dressing Myself Because I Was Not My Object Of Desire.

The Shock Of The Way I Mix Patterns And Fabrics Can Be Disconcerting, But What I Am Trying To Do Is Provoke New Ideas About How Pieces Can Be Put Together In Different Ways. I Think This Is A More Modern Way To Wear Clothes That In Themselves Are Fairly Classic.
