I Shared This Idea That

An Athletic Man, Or Whatever You Want To Call Him, Will Only Look Good In A Very Classic Suit, A Pair Of Classic Jeans, Athletic Clothes Or Simply Naked. Forget Fashion. This Is Not Going To Happen, Unless You Want To Look Like A Chippendales Dancer In Designer Clothes.

Just Like Zillions Of Children, Album Covers Educated And Informed Me, And Certainly Did I Later Transpose Organically, Rather Than By Intent, Those Principles Both In Fashion Design And Photography.

When I Was Designing, I Had In Mind Jimi Hendrix, And I Could Hardly Find Skinny Indie Black Kids To Wear My Clothes. I Remember One Telling Me He Had To Swap His Skinny Jeans For Baggy Ones In The Subway Before Going Home, So He Wouldn't Get In Trouble In His Neighborhood.

David Bowie, For Me, Was The Butchest Guy In Town. Jagger Was Like A Truck Driver.

Sex Is Not A Subject In My Photographs, Or Would Only Be If It Had To Do With Romance, Sometimes Vulnerability. The Photographs Are Quite Clearly About Happiness, Or Search For Happiness.
