Don t step on my--

I thought it was part of the bouquet.

How are you? I am wonderful.

How many hours to make this beautiful dress?

Inspired not by Rei Kawakubo,

but by monsieur Charles James.

A little Charles James.

How do you feel?

I feel great, I ve never worn a fishtail.

Oh, how beautiful.

[Zac] Katie saw it after I presented my fall collection,

she said, I would love to wear this.

Define avant-garde.

One of you, the two of you define avant-garde.

You know, I think avant-garde is taking risk.

Being a creator today, and being an artist today.

You know, Rei is an incredible artist.

When you re dressing, is it more interesting

to get dressed in an interesting way, or a sexy way?

It kind of depends on the day.

I would rather be considered interesting than sexy, though.

Sexy is passe, not avant-garde anymore.

Elegance is avant-garde today.

Elegance is avant-garde.

Thank you, my dear. Thank you.

Enjoy, Katie, Enjoy, Zac,

so happy you re here, thank you, you look wonderful.
