FilepMotwary: You are a man involved in many things at the same time. Some of them are completely different from each other. How do you manage? MIGUELvILLAlOBOS: I don’t know, it seems to me, that is the best way of keeping a wider spectrum of things which ends, almost always,
with good results, no sleep and some stress…
FilepMotwary: How many years have you been working so far and what is the goal of achievement you consider as ideal all through those years. MiguelVillaLobos: Around 16, I started before finishing design school in Caracas, the goal, well all I can say is to satisfy myself more and more! And not to COMPROMISE!
FilepMotwary: What is the story behind 
your involvement with Maison MARTIN MARGIELA? MiguelVillaLobos: One day out of the blue, I just got an email through my site from them requesting my portfolio. Later I lerned that they have been aware of my work for some time.
FilepMotwary: I know that you have worked for one of my favourite films "Headwig and the Angry Inch". How was that experience? MiguelVillaLobos: AMAZING!!! I was the visual consultant, I started helping with storyboards, and end up making props and
photographing behind the scenes!
FilepMotwary: Do you still illustrate for people? MiguelVillaLobos:I work as an illustrator for Zaldy, L.A.M.B, Armani Exchange and Helmut Lang.
FilepMotwary: Your pictures are really alive. How do you manage to capture all of these really deep- personal -eye contacts. What are you thinking when you photograph people. MiguelVillaLobos: Not much, I just
try to play with them and have fun.
FilepMotwary: Lately you spend a lot of time in Paris. What are the differences compared to New York? MiguelVillaLobos: Europeans know how to leave well!
Filep Motwary: What is your best childhood memory and why? MiguelVillasbobos: Alone at the beach
collecting feathers and sea shells
FilepMotwary: Do you think that your background and origins formed your aesthetics MiguelVillaLobos: Yes and somehow british music(
Siouxsie and the Banshees, Creatures, Pram, Stereolab, Jethro Tull !) and Italian cinema too (
Fellini!).
