Few cities have been so adamantly idealized, mythologized and captured on film and in photographs as Los Angeles and Paris.

Today, the designer has made a name for himself for the quality of his garments and his fluid, creative approach that walks a line between elegance and hype. The people he dresses all “want to have personality, but they don’t want to look like they’re faking young, it’s a fine balance between looking modern and faking youth” he said.
