On rumors that he’s moving to Dior: “Anything like that is a compliment, but you just have to concentrate on your job and what you’re doing.” And he doesn’t plan to launch a diffusion line any time soon, telling British Vogue, “It’s never been the right moment.

Once you start looking at versions of your work, it can get a bit dangerous.”
