It's almost like putting armor on a woman. It's a very psychological way of dressing.

I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition

For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.

I'm about what goes through people's minds. The stuff that people don't want to admit or face up to. The shows are about what's buried in people's psyches.

If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I'm not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.

People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.

Life to me is a bit of a (Brothers) Grimm fairy tale.
