It is actually nonsense to link menswear and travel. But it is important that you have a purpose when you design menswear.
When I design menswear, it is important for me to consider where you wear the clothes and what purpose they serve.
We've become a little spoiled with menswear in particular because, of course, we've come off a period in the '70s and '80s when Armani, which is very soft, dominated menswear. And we've become obsessed with comfort. I actually don't like that.
I feel like the menswear blogger is a special breed, and by that, I mean they really have brought menswear out of the closet and into the public discourse where guys are not afraid to talk about style, dressing, clothes.
I didn't invent hot water. But when I approach menswear, I do it in a very honest way. And my menswear and womenswear are very similar, in the sense that I put men in leggings and lace shirts.
Above all, John Galliano menswear is all about good design. And men have been short-changed by good design for too long.
I feel like design school might ruin people, particularly if you're a menswear designer, as there's not much focus on business.
I'm into menswear slacks that are comfortable.
I would definitely wear flat menswear-like shoes.
The whole point is that colors that are harder to wear, like pink, less expected, or maybe not as commercial; if they're used in the right way, they can make a design way more compelling, especially in menswear where color isn't often used. I think it's really exciting to have a lot of color in men's stuff.
The kind of vision I have for menswear, men aren't ready to wear stuff that's so over the top!
In the beginning I didn't want to do a menswear collection. It felt a little forced. And then I found that it was an amazing world.
For me, menswear is an experimental ground to play with something. There is scope to be gained there - you can create a new normality.
I wanted to start a menswear line of slim-fitting, luxury cashmere jumpers in a range of great colours.
I brought a lot of the codification of womenswear to menswear. Why? Because when I was a child, I was wearing women's clothes adjusted to me.
I was just a huge fan of Blur, Suede, Elastica and Pulp, of course, even Menswear and Ocean Colour Scene.
One thing I think constantly is if brands like Gucci can make plus-size menswear, then why can't we see it for women?
