He was head designer at Givenchy from 1996 to 2001, earning the title "enfant terrible" by the French media. His famous "Bumster" pants were one of the most provocative designs of the 1990s. Key collections included in the Archive: Highland Rape (FW 1995), Untitled (SS 1998) more commonly known as "The Rain" or "Golden Shower" and No. 13 (SS 1999)
