Do you remember the first time ? Here’s mine, Fall/Winter 2000. I had spent 6 months on the preparation of this collection, taking my Central St. Martin’s degree work from 1995 as a starting point: “Change the silhouette. Super-high waistline. Skinny legs and volume on top. Mix neutrals and strong colours. Make in knit what is normally made in fabric. Place on top what is normally underneath. Make everything supersmall or superbig, bodycon or oversized. Wear everything together. Sexy and non-sexy.” We organized a show at Fabrice Hybert’s studio, which was just down the road from our own office, not having the slightest idea if anyone would actually turn up. It’s still one of my most cherished ( as well as nerve-wrecking) memories. Photographed by Wolfgang Tillmans.
