he still designs for his own label, at least officially, how much creative input he really does have is a matter of conjecture.

>can you explain why everybody says this?

you only need to look at the collections themselves aw01, ss02, fw03, much of his 90's work. most of these collections were inspired by certain youth subcultures/themes/elements/issues and the designs reflected that. OS baggy silhouettes, reappropriation of milsurp jackets, sewing of patches, graphics with cultural epithets, youth slogans, collaborations with artists that were part of said subcultures.

the names of the collections themselves perpetuated these themes and were statements unto themselves.

aw01 'riot riot riot'
ss02 ' woe unto those who spit on the fear generation..the wind will blow it back'

not only that, these collections were designed with young men in mind. they were shown on amateur belgium models, the messages and the slogans were designed to not only evoke the subtexts of cultures themselves but to inspire contemporary youth.

you could argue that hes simply 'matured' now but again, as i said earlier, he did mature for awhile, he moved on from this following fw04 and delivered some breathtaking menswear collections that were very far removed from his 'youth' collections.

now he just churns out shit.

if you want specific collections, see ss00, fw00, fw01, ss02, fw03, fw04
