He described his runway as \u201ca gesture of respect for a generation that will always be at the base of urban youth culture – hip-hop, the outsiders that reorganized the mainstream.\u201d The collection itself was called Respect – on the runway, parkas, jogging pants, shirts, zipped knits, and vintage-esque mini-dresses appeared on these neo-street warriors.
