He has done the leather jacket, and redoes them, along with fabulous fitted wool peacoats with leather trim and a fur collar. But it doesn't stop there, his street-smart designs are sexy and sophisticated and draw the likes of Madonna, Annie Lennox and Mick Jagger. His jackets are fabulous, but so are his metallic gold bikinis and sheer delicately beaded hard-edged evening gowns for women, fitted black velvet suits for men, stunning jewelry, shoe and glasses lines.
