In my life I had no other choice than to become a strong person.

Die and born again, die and born again. It's the story of my life.

I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There's so much more to it than knitwear - it's an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.

My mother didn't want me to be in fashion. She was in the fashion business, so was my brother, and she thought it was too crazy for me. She wanted me to be married with children, to be independent, yes, but not to have a crazy life.

In order to be responsible, you need some discipline in your life. For a while I lost mine.

Fashion is about dreaming and making other people dream.
