He added: "I do not destroy old clothing. I give them away to the needy or keep some for myself for they, in turn, shall be the fashion within years... It is the narrow drainpipe trousers today, it will become the flared wide bottomed soon. Some already are... glory be, for the purchase of the new shall be limited, or none at all.'
