All generations have their preferences when it comes to style. I have nothing negative to say about what is happening today.

What do you think of the concept of an ideal wardrobe ?

The ideal is to be able to create lots of different outfits with your clothes. Today, I have a large wardrobe and I don't buy many new things anymore. The same goes for vintage. It's hard to find good vintage clothes, at least in Malmö. I would have to go to London or Paris.

My stylistic journey is something wonderful, which has given me a lot. People often recognize me in the streets of London or even in Tokyo. Since I was a little older, the media have been interested in me. Not only in Sweden but also internationally.

At the moment we are recording a documentary for Swedish national television. It's a documentary about me and another gentleman my age. The movie should be called “Big Boys.”
