Don't become a fashion victim is what I'm trying to say.

I very seldom compromise. I am a Capricorn.

I've been dressing Renee on the red carpet for the past three years, ... I think she always looks great. She has the right proportion for my clothes. She has that tiny waist and she loves fashion.

If you ask me to sew a button, I don't know how to do it! The idea of the whole collection and how you want to build your brand is all about working with the right people. And luck!

I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.

Life always has a bit of a challenge in front of you, and that's what makes you fight for it.

For me, fashion begins in New York.
