Birds in flight fascinate me. I admire eagles and falcons. I’m inspired by a feather but also its color, its graphics, its weightlessness and its engineering. It’s so elaborate. In fact I try and transpose the beauty of a bird to women.

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 find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality.

Women should look like women. A piece of cardboard has no sexuality.

You've got to know the rules to break them.

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

I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.
