What\u2019s your favourite season? And where in the world?<\/strong><\/p>\nMy favourite season is definitely winter. I grew up in the Austrian Alps so there was a lot of skiing and as a result, I\u2019ve got a high constitution for cold weather. There\u2019s nothing like the feeling of coasting down a slope, being sprayed with the fine dust of virgin snow. I love it.<\/p>\n
How does art inspire your collections?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nSubconsciously. I\u2019m always around or looking at art but never\u00a0for<\/em>\u00a0inspiration. My design relationship to artworks isn\u2019t as straightforward as that.<\/p>\nDo you have a favourite collection so far, or is each collection your favourite to date?<\/strong><\/p>\nI don\u2019t like looking back. Of course every season I have to think about what worked and what didn\u2019t because of my customers, but my favourite collection is always the one I haven\u2019t started yet.<\/p>\n
How do you feel your style has developed over time?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe design process for me has always been about letting loose then going on to refine, perfect and then positively fuck it up. My style has become more reflective of these idiosyncrasies whilst working out what elegance means to a man.<\/p>\n
What was the starting point for this collection?<\/strong><\/p>\nDrowning<\/p>\n
You have a very utilitarian style \u2013 what\u2019s the most staple item in your wardrobe?<\/strong><\/p>\nOversized coats in beautiful materials. It means that I can wear (almost) anything underneath and it doesn\u2019t really matter.<\/p>\n
