He was the fashion advisor for U2 and their PopMart Tour and Erasure for their Cowboy Tour. Since 1983, he issues his own collections. They are inspired by the visual arts, literature, nature and ethnic influences. His unusual color combinations and a strong graphic influence are characteristic for his collections.
