i went to see him two years ago at a coference held by my school and he featured a video with footage from the paper show, it had backstage footage and also the whole process of how he created those beautiful dresses while he was narrating and describing all of it. It was amazing, he was very nice and asked a lot of questions. All the audience were blown away when the models destroyed the dresses after seeing all the detail and work done on the making of the show part.
