My resolution is to make positivity, thankfulness and happiness my new mantra.

My love of fashion stemmed from my mother's passion for it.

I don't listen to music when designing. We create in silence. I go through a torturous process because everything has to be precise and right.

My parents had a factory, so I was linked to the textile and fashion industry.

All the Tauruses I know have this connection to the earth and the environment. We are very curious people, very loyal, very aware of and respectful of our surroundings. Also, we're stubborn, but that's our way. We understand what we want, which is not bad.

I only do what I do. For me, it is a craft. It's got to be my own thing - otherwise, I would never be successful. I could easily go to the archives and pull 1987 or 1991 collection by Calvin Klein. But when you look in there, you realize that it was never about one piece. It was about the collections as bodies of work.

I hate to sound esoteric, but there is something about a house that leads you to that one chair, that one corner, where you just sit and feel comfortable.
