It's important for young women and men coming out of the fashion schools to think seriously before starting their own collections.

You can’t really worry too much…about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.

It's the mishaps that make it fun, and brings you the surprise.

One should look forward rather than backwards.

You either know fashion or you don't.

Everyone should be sacked at least once in their career because perfection doesn't exist. It's important to have setbacks, because that is the reality of life.

I’m very driven by what I do. I am certainly very competitive. I like people who represent the best at what they do. If that turns you into a perfectionist then maybe I am.
