There’s always such an interesting story behind how these lines comes together.

I just kind of go off one piece, and build it like that. Some people put together a board, and it’s way more organized from the start. And since working here - when I was at Lyell, I would make whatever I wanted, and miraculously it would come together in some kind of collection. But here, I have to cover more categories, so there are more people involved that I have to communicate with, but I do small groups and it grows. I find that fall is usually more sophisticated, and spring is more girly-cute. There’s a lot of black in this collection, and people are like “where’s the color?” But people in New York wear black all the time.
I was looking at these photos by Carlo Mollino, this Italian architect. Until he died, nobody knew he was taking photographs of prostitutes, in a nice setting, with really nice styling, and I started collaging them with flowers while I was doing this collection. I was doing it for something specific, and that’s why there are flower heads on the models. You can see more of his plain photographs, and they are really beautiful. He was famous, and they didn't know he was doing this until they cleaned out his home and found this photography.
