Women's bodies are curvy, sensual, it's about being happy to be a woman - and sexy is always good

It's no good being too easily swayed by people's opinions. You have to believe in yourself.

You can never forget the time you are living in because the past is the past and it will never come back. So to adjust your philosophy and creativity in fashion to the time you’re living in is the most important thing.

In fashion, women have more sensitivity, more sense of the body, so they know how things fit and feel. Yet there are not many women who study fashion. It's ridiculous.
