«I JUST READ EVERYTHING»

«Gay men want to show themselves, and to provoque, and they are curious about all the new things-hysterically wanting something different all the time. They are more in touch with new fashion, and even in creating new fashion themselves. Gay men are a rejected minority. So they rebel against convention, and they have a unique sensibility that is more close to that of a woman. They want to affirm themselves and express themselves by their clothes. Or they want to look like a big macho. And they are a lot of my customers, a very big part, and I'm proud of that»
