I wasn't a club kid. I wasn't an artist. I was just a foreigner, trying to soak it all up. I had quite a lot of fun.

I wanted to be involved with fashion, though I didn't know what being a designer meant.

I hope the average woman feels she needs practicality but with a little bit of fantasy. Otherwise it's just not fashion.

Being sexy is not about what's on show, it's all about suggestion, or insinuation. I'm interested in the way a garment hangs on a woman's body and the way it moves when she moves.

I don't love reading so much, but I love book shopping.

I do go back to Brazil once a year. I miss my family.
