For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is.

I never loved the world around me as it was.

I look for friends who make me laugh.

The world needs some excitement from fashion.

People want to be in their own fashion tribes, so they want to wear the same clothes to be connected to everyone else in that tribe. But they want to be different from other tribes.
