“As I was casting about for a title to this year’s collection, the ecological met the scatological, and the result is Waste. We have an alien race of conquerors who don’t waste much, a tattoo artist who finds inspiration on the porcelain convenience, a girl trying to reassemble her life in a forest laid waste, and a woman reclaimed from the ravages of time.”
