I have a responsibility to the people who work for me, the manufacturers I work with. There is no point to clothes that don't sell.

I make clothes people can wear; I don't make art.

I'm a fashion designer, not a shoe designer. I like to design clothes.

Clothes is just something you put on to cover yourself... fashion is a way to communicate.

Various different people have inspired me throughout my career. From Francis Bacon to Vassareli, Coco Chanel to Christian Dior, Cecil Beaton, musicians, architects... the list is endless.

For me, restrictions are not always negative. Restrictions can push creativity. I like restrictions.
