We have to celebrate the end of the millennium with 'brio.

I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it.

You see me, I wanted to be fashion designer. I became fashion designer. So I think that everything is possible.

The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.

I start each collection thinking how I can refresh my classics.

I'm still astounded by some people's reaction to things I consider quite normal.
