The Look
His clothes are minimal in look, maximal in thought. His work challenges what you can do with a length of fabric. He rethinks the body and challenges the concept of zones of the body. He tries never to make his clothes sexy. He does not want them to be attractive in that obvious way. He uses a lean sinuous silhouette, great attention to detail and fabrics liked felted wools, double-faced cashmere, and matt jersey. There is often a darkness to his themes, vampires, tombs and constriction have all featured in his collections. However, overall his clothes are innovative, exquisite and technically brilliant. They are high-concept pieces encapsulating the pure beauty of femininity.
