Because Quote by Olivier Theyskens
“It's interesting for me because in my work, a lot of times, I like to scrutinize the clothes and think what's going to make them look dated ,and I do the same with vintage. In vintage, you want something unique and different, but at the same time, something that doesn't make you look like you dress like a grandpa.”
