In fashion, we don't often know the prices. We don't have time to go into the stores.
Art is the way people see things, and I think it's great when individuals can find in fashion something they truly believe is artistic
I think the relationship is very tenuous between fashion and art. Many designers have built relationships with artists, which is not something I personally did. But it's true, sometimes you see artists working for a designer or a brand on some specific project or taking care of their environment and making an amazing store.
For a long time I have been thinking about affordable fashion - you can be disappointed when not so many people can wear your stuff.
I've admired historical clothes like Victorian gowns since I was a child, and it's what motivated me to go into fashion.
Even during the golden age of fashion, you had haute couture houses where the designers didn't have money.
My mother loved fashion and always had a great aesthetic. But she also considered the cost of it, with the kids, that it wasn't something to allow herself. It also probably nourished my passion and my will to make fashion, because I've always felt that, because of having a big family to take care of, she sacrificed a bit of her femininity.
Everything I have is ready to wear, but I have the ability to have different options within the same brand. I have the Theyskens' Theory collection where it's a personal approach to how I build the collection where I fuse more fashion-y ideas and it has my name on it. So it's really something very research- and labor-intensive. And then I have the Theory brand where I infuse all points of view about fashion at large, and it's more global. It's really about making something succeed. You have an instant relationship with stores, and with sales teams, and people that are in the place.
I would love, just once, to do costumes for a movie. I almost did some theater, but it is very different from what I am used to doing as a fashion designer.
