StyleList: You've worked with Victoria Beckham on her dress line. How is it working with her? RM: I'm not working with her. I never worked with Victoria. I should make a press release [laughs].
StyleList: Well, we can be your press release. Set the record straight.
RM: Victoria and I work with the same company under Simon Fuller. And what I did was I told her I could introduce her to a small factory in England that was doing things for me, and I introduced her to one of my ex-employees and that person became her right hand.
But, really, what I did for Victoria is nothing different than what I did for Jonathan Saunders and so many young designers in London. I'm the kind of person that thinks that fashion is a family, and if you have a problem, I am here to help. But there is a magic with Victoria and I completely understand what she's doing. That woman is one of the most photographed women in the world. She has the resources to be a brand. She represents a new direction of design for the future.
StyleList: But you don't see any similarities in your clothes?
RM: She loves the feminine form, I love the feminine form. But I don't think were doing the same clothes. Victoria technique is more curt. Mine is less curt. I have less of a problem with her than I have with designers who just remake my 'Galaxy' dress. But the media doesn't talk about that because they'd lose their advertisers. What they call an homage is not flattering. I think it's lazy and it's fraud.
