Patrick Cox

I've learnt a lot about construction and flexibility from my time at Geox.

I think a house should reflect the interests and personality of the occupant, but it takes time to gather together the objects one likes around oneself.

I finished college by July 15th, 1985, and by October 1985, I had a little stand during the trade show which was London Fashion week at the time. My stand was tiny - just 6 square meters in total - and I had my 12 shoes that I designed while in college.

After selling the business, and the Patrick Cox brand in 2007, I had a three-year non-compete, where I just spent a lot of time hanging all over the world on beaches and having fun.

The word 'modern' is a cliche.

I was wondering if the best was behind me, had the high point of my career already happened. Then I saw what Manolo had done, and some of his best work happened after he turned 40.

I'm addicted to chinos the second weather gets warm enough.
