Freedom

My interest in fashion is deeply rooted in the charm of its inherent freedom.

Freely creating things from my imagination, and sharing those things with many people. I was captivated by this charm.

While driving down a road in the American countryside, I gazed upon a teepee, so nomadic in nature, and was reminded of my adolescence. Growing older, bound by obligations; since when did we lose sight of what it means to be free? Had we forgotten our thoughts from a time closer to when we stepped into this world?

Last year at our exhibition in Paris, we raised a teepee as a symbol of our return to freedom. I learned the craft of teepee-making from a scholar based in Montana, and even completed a section of the stitching myself. When we finally erected the teepee, it was the greatest feeling in the world, and felt like my childhood dream had become a reality.

When I was still on the outside looking in, before getting into fashion, or even before entering the working world, I would always think how great the joys of freedom were.

Our Fall/Winter 2012 collection is the incarnation of this freedom.
