Can you tell me a bit about your design process, from concept to completion?
Basically my concept and my philosophy is ongoing, which means that I never stop creating new material. While I work on one season, I already know what I want to improve and change for next season. The biggest part of my work is the conceptual period and the selection of my materials. This is the base of each collection and that's why I take all the time I need to build a really strong base. Once this is done the job is actually quite easy and quick.

Your clothing is differnt in that you use zippers and drawstrings--but not buttons. Also your shirts have no collars and you don't use trim. Can you tell me more about this?
I want my clothes to be very pure and raw at the same time. I'm trying to avoid using zippers and buttons if they're not really needed. I'm focusing on the shape and the volume of the pieces. Sometimes I feel that a zipper is breaking the beauty of the piece but sometimes it's just needed.
You've got a very large collection. Do you do everything yourself?
Up until now I was doing the whole collection myself, but since I'm preparing my first women's line now and since we started our new line called Silent I have to change my way of working a little bit. Obviously nobody would be able to manage all this work all alone so I have two new assistants since October who work on Damir Doma and two more who work on Silent.
...
Thought all would enjoy.
