I (draw) a lot of inspiration from the romance and glamour of that period for my gowns especially.

It's early '50s. I've drawn inspiration from fashion icons of that era, whose sense of style and elegance have sort of influenced style today.

Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.
