He believes that a cohesive collection is the one that is only focused on one theme “I don’t really understand why there are so many themes in a collection; there’s no real reason for that” He sets one or two ides to work within those boundaries so he is sure his work is focused. As an example the two main inspiration for his Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, were the Japanese kimono and the sleek interiors of Porsche sport cars. Inspirations that helped to give shape to a minimal and pure lines collection.
