Christian Cota on the commonplace (designers pulling all-nighters before show day) and the more unusual (bumping into John Galliano while on vacay)...

How are you feeling? 
Good, actually. I didn't sleep. I was in the showroom finishing everything!

How do you survive an all-nighter?
Green tea is helping me. And adrenaline. 

So what’s the sartorial result of your sleepless efforts?
Square details. The stores buy the prints—that's what sells— which let me go back to my roots in Mexico. It’s all really rich!

Who are you obsessed with right now? 
Keira Knightley. I love her.

What else is new?
I was on vacation and I saw John Galliano. 

Where was that?
I don't kiss and tell!

Did you meet him?
Very briefly.
