Menswear is about subtlety. It's about good style and good taste.

Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual
Alexander McQueen

I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now - no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.

Image
The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.
