Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.

I don’t think punk fashion is a specter or overemphasized – it made a big impression, as there had never been anything like it before.

I own my own company, so I’ve never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn’t sell. I’ve always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I’ve always had people buying them.

Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented. No man wants to hug a padded bird cage.
